[casper] broadcom BCM8747
Hi all, Do anyone here have any experiences in Broadcom's PHY chip BCM8747? I have a Xilinx Virtex 6 FPGA board and a 10 gigabit ethernet expansion board that has 4 PHY chips (BCM8747). There are ZD connectors between the two boards. And I came across some problems. I am sure that the supply voltage and the reference clock (156.25 MHz) of the PHY are OK. And I also have made a testing of eye diagram for the trasmitter and the reciever of XAUI. Both of the eye's width and height meet the requirements of BCM8747 data sheet. But it has a problem in sychoronization and alignment of the four lanes. The four lanes(one port) can't be sychoronized and aligned even I configured the PHY to the independent lane loopback operation mode(It connects the XAUI deserializer output directly to the XAUI serializer input). I also tried to configure the PHY to be 1 Gbe bypass mode and made a loopback. It was not linked up, either. Has anyone met problems like these yet? Thank you very much! Best wishes, Lin
[casper] Problem running tutorial 2
Hello, I am trying to work out how the GBe connection works. I have downloaded tutorial 2 from the casper website and replaced all the erroneous software blocks. I am running Matlab R2012b and Xilinx 14.5. As soon as I start to compile and he revves the design up to version 14.5 I get a couple of errors immediatly after. Can someone give me a tip as to how to solve this error? Kind regards, Tom Moving all revup related files to 'revup' folder...

Re: [casper] Problem running tutorial 2
Hi Tom, This is a library version issue. I've been useless and haven't yet pushed the up-to-date library to the casper-astro repository. I shall do this now (though it might take a few minutes for me to download and push the correct stuff to github).

Re: [casper] Problem running tutorial 2
Hi Tom, This is done. If you pull from https://github.com/casper-astro/mlib_devel.git you should be good to go with the tutorials (this is the branch we used at the workshop). Note that if you're doing a fresh clone you'll have to add back in the deprecated pcores (see https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/MSSGE_Setup_with_Xilinx_14.x_and_Matlab_2012b#Tweaks_to_be_able_to_compile) The startup proceedure has also changed slightly. After cloning the repository, rather than editing startsg (which is tracked in git), you should create a separate file named startsg.local, which contains your location-specific matlab/xilinx install paths. A sample is given on the wiki page I linked, but basically you just need a file with three lines (eg): export MATLAB_PATH=/opt/MATLAB/R2012b export XILINX_PATH=/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS export XILINX_PLATFORM=lin64 appropriately set for your install. Let me know if you have any problems, Jack On 11 August 2014 11:20, Geelen, T.F.G. t.f.g.gee...@student.tue.nl wrote: Hi Jack, Thank you, I'll be waiting for the new push on the repository.

Re: [casper] casper Digest, Vol 81, Issue 7
hi Tom, I am not sure whether your problems been solved. If not,you can try to download some files in the website(https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/MSSGE_Setup_with_Xilinx_14.x_and_Matlab_2012b ) and add them to your /pcores as it said. If you can simulate the tut2.mdl well,It's probabley a problem of the version of your EDK. good luck! peter niu At 2014-08-12 03:15:50, casper-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu wrote: Send casper mailing list submissions to casper@lists.berkeley.edu To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://calmail.berkeley.edu/manage/list/listinfo/casper@lists.berkeley.edu or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to casper-requ...@lists.berkeley.edu You can reach the person managing the list at casper-ow...@lists.berkeley.edu When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than Re: Contents of casper digest...
