Hi All, I'm trying to use a optical transceiver to adapt CX4 to optical fiber: Fujitsu FPD-010R008-0E + FOC-CC. I'm using it for a short distance of 10m. I did the loop back test on BEE2 and it works fine. So I'm sure that the cable and the module is working fine. But when I have one end of

Hi all, For the reasons Andrew mentioned, I think a split in the library should happen as late as possible. While everyone means well, I'm dubious that bugs and features would be "back applied" to older versions. In my experience using mlib_devel_10_1 with both 10.1 and 11.? on Windows and Linux r

Hi Dave It may be time to copy our libraries to an mlib_devel_11_1 revision and continue from there. ROACH2 uses Virtex6 and the 10.x and earlier tools do not support it. Disadvantages are that a lot of library maintainers will be working in mlib_devel_11_1 and bug fixes, changes etc may not make
