Hi Paul
Sorry Andrew, I can't seem to find any of the alternatives you
recommended.
We're using xlinx 14.3, and our mlib_devel's most recent commit was
May of this year.
Thanks again
Your version of Xilinx should be ok. You may want to do a git pull from
casper-astro.
Can you compile other designs e.g the tutorials? Is the compile problem
specific to the sincos block?
Regards
Andrew

Thanks Andrew,
I'll look into those other blocks.
The problem happens at compile time.

Hi Paul
I've recently been having problems with the Casper DSP sincos
block. I'll successfully run a number of simulations, then I start
getting these errors at compile time:
Error in 'test_sin/sincos1
<matlab:open_and_hilite_system%20%28%27test_sin/sincos1%27%29>':
Initialization commands cannot be evaluated
Error evaluating parameter 'initVector' in 'test_sin/sincos1/rom0
<matlab:open_and_hilite_system%20%28%27test_sin/sincos1/rom0%27%29>'
Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.
The only way to get away from this error seems to be shutting down
both the model *and* restarting matlab again. After a few new
simulations however, the problem comes back up, slowing down my
workflow considerably. Any ideas?
Does the problem only happen at compile time or also during simulation?
You can also try the cosin block from the Downconverter subsection.
It is more sophisticated in BRAM saving and is used in the FFT
library for coefficient generation (so should work).
Depending on your application you may also look at using the
feedback_osc block which generates a cos/-sin pair using multipliers
instead of using a lookup table. It can only generate in-order
values though, not in arbitrary order as the sincos/cosin blocks do.
The feedback_osc is also used in the fft family so should work.

Andrew
