Git submodules

If something changes wrt submodules (someone changes a commit we're pinned to) then do

git submodule update --init --recursive

Run all CI tests locally

From build_tools/ci:

#!/bin/bash

set -eo pipefail

rm -rf test_matmuls test_aie_vs_cpu print_ir_aie2xclbin_results

Driver

If you built xdna-driver from source and everything went smoothly but /opt/xilinx/xrt/bin/xrt-smi examine is still showing 0 devices then try sudo dmesg | grep amdxdna and look for something like

[1.789628] amdxdna 0000:c5:00.1: aie2_init: failed to request_firmware amdnpu/1502_00/npu.sbin, ret -2

which indicates you're missing the firmware at /usr/lib/firmware/amdnpu/1502_00. Possibly this is because you don't have jq installed and their script failed to download the firmware. You can find the full links/paths at xdna-driver/tools/info.json and thus you can just download and place/copy to the right place by hand.
