We use this tag in our repo for supporting ROACH1:
https://github.com/ska-sa/casperfpga/releases/tag/AVN_legacy
Note that you can't use upload_to_ram_and_program. It's a three-step
process.
fpga.system_info['program_filename'] = '%s.bof' % gateware #bof needs to be
on the roachfs for this to work
fpga.program()
fpga.get_system_information('%s.fpg' % gateware) #fpg file needs to be in
current working directory
Give that a spin.
