Hello Vishwa, I'll answer your questions slightly out of order - someone else may be able to give a more thorough answer but just for a first order:
3. As far as I understand it, "corr" was written specifically for the KAT-7 digital back-end, so many of its features are specific to that. As far as the general interfacing to the gateware goes - casperfpga has all the features that you were used to in corr. 2. Just clone the repo from github, then "sudo python setup.py install" when you're in the directory. It's a fairly standard python package install process. You may need to have some other libraries installed for this to succeed but if you had corr, you've probably got them already. 1. The new features of casperfpga kind of revolve around the new features of mlib_devel in handling the .fpg files that it produces - I can try to detail them for you a bit later if I have some time but Paul Prozesky is probably the person to ask - I learned about it from him.
