Hi Morag Thanks for the prompt response. We definitely plan to stick with the 'stable' release for Skarab (Matlab 2018/Vivado 2019). The only thing we were unsure of is the Matlab toolsets - this is strangely missing from the ReadTheDocs documentation (unless we somehow missed it).
Kind regards, Clifford On Tue, Jan 28, 2025, 14:06 Morag Brown <mbr...@sarao.ac.za> wrote: > Hi Clifford, > > casperfpga itself doesn't require MATLAB toolboxes as it's the Python > library used to interact with CASPER supported hardware.
