F.1. Why do I see a 'No Suitable slots found' message when running fpgaconf on my AFU image?

If you see a No suitable slots found message, ensure that your FIM version is compatible with your AFU image by completing the following steps:
  1. Refer to Identifying the Flash Image and BMC Firmware to determine the required <FIM version>.
  2. To verify that the AFU is compatible with the FIM version, run the following command:
    packager gbs-info --gbs=<gbs-file>
    For example, for nlb_mode_0.gbs run the following command:
    packager gbs-info --gbs=$OPAE_PLATFORM_ROOT/hw/samples/nlb_mode_0/bin/
\nlb_mode_0_unsigned.gbs
