If you find that there are no results for this search, you can try incrementing the last part of the version number in the search string, e.g., ``1.12.2 -> 1.12.3``. Other parts of the search term should be unchanged.

Recently, some AWS users been having issues with the launch process (after
|
||||
you click ``Launch Instance``) getting stuck trying to "Subscribe" to the
|
||||
AMI even when the account is already subscribed. We have been able to
|
||||
bypass this issue by going to the FPGA Developer AMI page on AWS
|
||||
Marketplace, clicking subscribe (even if already subscribed), and then
|
||||
following the prompts about launching an instance until you get to the
|
||||
point where you can select "Launch via EC2" in a dropdown. Once you click
|
||||
continue on the page with "Launch via EC2", you will be brought back to
|
||||
the usual launch instance page, but the AMI will be pre-selected and you
|
||||
will be able to successfully launch at the end, after updating the rest
|
||||
of the options as noted above.
