Programming FPGA problem- bitstream is not compatible with the target revision

Question

Hi,

I'm doing UltraZed PCIe Carrier Card Tutorial on Vivado V2017.2. Everything went pretty well. I've generated bitsream with vivado and run all off programs till I stucked on 9.3 chapter where I need to program FPGA with generated bitstream. In the SDK there is an error:

09:49:27 ERROR : bitstream is not compatible with the target revision, use -no-revision-check to allow programming

When I've tried to program the device with Vivado and I got such error:

ERROR: [Labtools 27-3303] Incorrect bitstream assigned to device. Bitstream was generated for part xczu3eg-sfva625-1-i-es1, target device (with IDCODE revision 1) is compatible with production revision bitstreams.

To allow the bitstream to be programmed to the device, use "set_param xicom.use_bitstream_version_check false" tcl command.

What does it mean and how to solve it.

Looks like you have a PCIe Carrier Card with production ULtraZed-EG SOM, however, when you followed the tutorial instructions, you created the design for the UltraZed-EG SOM with ES1 silicon. I would suggest the following: 1) Make sure you have installed the 2017.2 Board Definition Files. These file sets support both the UltraZed-EG SOM with ES1 silicon as well as the UltraZed-EG SOM with the production silicon. 2) When following the tutorial instructions to create your design, please use the PCIe Carrier Card with Production SOM Board Definition Files (this is documented on page 6 of the tutorial PDF). 3) Once you complete the above steps, you should not need any TCL commands to configure the device in SDK.
