Hi Heystek,
If you want to telnet, which is another way of configuring your board, then
you need to state the port. Are you doing the following from the terminal:
1)Telnet to port 7147: "telnet <ip> 7147".
2)?progremote fpgfile.fpg
You say you can ping your board, so you should be able to connect via
casperfpga, as you mentioned above. Did you do what James suggested i.e.
try running fpga.is_connected()? if it reports "True" then you are
connected and if false then you will need to debug further. Are you sure
that the IP you are pinging is your roach2 - may sound like a silly
question, but I don't know your setup.
Kind Regards,
Adam
