F2 XDMA shell availability

[itaibak]

I am looking forward to the migration of our product to the F2 platform, but we currently depend on the XDMA Shell. Could you please share the timeline for its release?

Additionally, I have a question about instance sizes. I noticed that the smallest available F2 instance is the 12xlarge, which includes two FPGAs. Are there plans to release smaller instances with a single FPGA, similar to the f1.2xlarge? If so, could you provide an estimated timeline for availability?

Thanks.

Hi @itaibak, thanks for your patience and we are glad to hear you are ready to migrate to F2. We expect to have the XDMA shell released very soon. Once we have a release candidate (beta) branch, we will reply to this issue to let you know.

Similar to F1, we plan to have a single FPGA instance size. We will update you once available.

Hi @kristopk,

Just following up to see if there are any updates on the XDMA shell release. Is there an ETA for when it might be available?

Thanks in advance!

On Feb 5th, we released F2.6xlarge instances. Delivering XDMA Shell for F2 instances is our highest priority for aws-fpga DevKit.

Hello, we also depend on XDMA shell availability for FireSim. Are there any updates on the timeline?
