Hi James
I installed the PySpead package but I get the following
error when I run the tut3.py script:
ImportError: No mode named spead
Do you perhaps have any ideas on how to solve it?
Thank you!!

Hello Heystek,
If you're still in the Python environment, then
PySpead is the one you want.

Good Day
After a while of troubleshooting I determined the
connection with TCP/IP into the board was
correct. I updated the file system and kernel of
the ROACH2 and now I can program it.
I only need to install a package called spead in
order to use the .bof file with tutorial 3 of
CASPER.
Where can a download the spead package from? I
can only find PySpead and Spead2.
Thanks for everyones help
Heystek!

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

Hi James
I will try it. Through the terminal I can
ping the board, but I cant open a Telnet
connection.
When I open a ttyUSB connection to the
Roach en monitor it, and try to upload
the fga file, the Roach gives the same
error "progremote"
Thats why I'm confused
Thanks for your help!
I really appreciate it

Hello Heystek,
Before you program the ROACH2, I'd
suggest trying fpga.is_connected()
and fpga.est_clk_frequency() to check
whether you can actually communicate
with the ROACH2. It might be a
network cable that's been unplugged
by accident - that's where I've seen
those errors before. The
fpga=casperfpga.katcp_fpga.KatcpFpga('roachname
or ip_address') doesn't actually
throw an error if it can't connect to
the ROACH2. This information would at
least help you narrow down the
possibilities as to what's wrong
(i.e. whether it's the kernel on the
ROACH2).
Disclaimer: I work only on ROACH, but
I'm fairly certain the procedure
would be the same.
Regards,
James

Good day everyone
I am having difficulties
programming the ROACH 2 board. I
am following the instructions of
CASPER tutorial one.
I Have compiled the fpg file and
is using the following steps from
the tutorial.
1. I entered ipython into the
terminal
2. import casperfpga
3.
fpga=casperfpga.katcp_fpga.KatcpFpga('roachname
or ip_address') with the
ip address of my roach
4.
fpga.upload_to_ram_and_program('your_fpgfile.fpg')
with the location of the .fpga file
but at point 4 I get the
following error:
RuntimeError Traceback (most
recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-bdb3ff92f6c0> in
<module>()
----> 1
fpga.upload_to_ram_and_program('/home/heystek/simulink/ai_t1/bit_files/ai_t1_2016_Sep_14_2052.fpg')
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/casperfpga/katcp_fpga.pyc
in
upload_to_ram_and_program(self,
filename, port, timeout,
wait_complete)
442 if request_result != '':
443 raise
RuntimeError('progremote
request(%s) on host %s failed' %
--> 444 (request_result, self.host))
445
446 # start the upload
thread and join
RuntimeError: progremote
request(Request to client
192.168.33.4 failed.) on host
192.168.33.4 failed
Am I doing something wrong?
I looked at the mail archives and
it sugested that I update the
kernel of the roach. Is this
perhaps the problem? Or am I
doing something wrong?
Have a wonderful day.
