Followed the guide on page to create an EC2 instance with FPGA Developer AMI - 1.12.2-40257ab5-6688-4c95-97d1-e251a40fd1fc FPGA.

Current Behavior

I believe circt was included as a sub-module in the recent release. firtool requires higher versions of GLIBC which is not supported on these AMIs.

Two solutions:

• Bump the version of GLIBC in the AMI
• Build circt from scratch during firesim installation (which will require building MLIR and LLVM)

Expected Behavior

firtool should function on Amazon-Linux 2 FPGA instances.
