Mugundhan, The fpg file is intended for ROACH2 and tcpborphserver3 - you can safely ignore it, but it's useful for some extra features.
If you use the casperfpga library (https://github.com/ska-sa/casperfpga) instead of the old corr library, then you can successfully program the ROACH. The procedure for using it is not 100% the same - you'd use the following commands: import casperfpga fpga = casperfpga.katcp_fpga.KatcpFpga('roachname') 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 the current directory There are some more cool things that you can do with the new casperfpga library, I can try to summarize them a bit later if you need, but you can learn a lot by playing around with it.
