Re: [casper] Roach2 Tutorial 4 Troubles (Can't Compile .slx or Upload .fpg)

Something is not quite right with your library path setup. Did you modify
the startsg.sh local script to properly point to your casper libraries? You
definitely should have the casper bus library if things are set up properly.

 Dear Glenn and Jack,

 Thanks for the response. I've re-cloned mlib_devel and checked-out the
 proper version ( 4c7ba5efb4
 ).
 I then re-downloaded, and un-tarred this .mdl, saved is as a .slx, and then
 opened it in matlab to run update_casper_blocks(bdroot).
 I've copied below the errors that appear. Also, I should note there are
 no .log files in any of the subdirectories inside the directory created by
 casper_xps.

Dear Glenn,

Yes, update_casper_blocks appears to run succesfully. First I ran it
inasmuch as it said at the end "done updating  blocks in ",
but it does issue warnings at some points. See below.

First, I tried updating my library, and at some point received this:
updating block xps_library/Shared BRAM/mem/sim_munge_in...
Simulink:Libraries:RefModificationViolation: Attempt to modify block in a
linked subsystem. This can only be done by the block or its parent through
their mask initialization code
Backtrace 1: reuse_block:51
Backtrace 2: munge_init:131
Backtrace 3: shared_bram_mask:119
Backtrace 4: update_casper_block:161
Backtrace 5: update_casper_blocks:107

Now, after updating my library, I ran the script on the .slx file
(poco_wide_12_r316_new); it also completes successfully but only after
providing these warning messages:
updating block poco_wide_12_r316_new/fft_wideband_real...
loading library casper_library_ffts
MATLAB:MException:MultipleErrors: Error due to multiple causes.
Backtrace 1: reuse_block:51
Backtrace 2: fft_stage_n_init:287
Backtrace 3: reuse_block:51
Backtrace 4: biplex_core_init:173
Backtrace 5: reuse_block:51
Backtrace 6: fft_biplex_real_4x_init:235
Backtrace 7: reuse_block:51
Backtrace 8: fft_wideband_real_init:257
Backtrace 9: update_casper_block:161
Backtrace 10: update_casper_blocks:107

I then updated my system diagram as you recommended, and received the
following errors:

Error in 'poco_wide_12_r316_new/fft_wideband_real/fft_biplex_real_4x':
Initialization commands cannot be evaluated.

Caused by:
Error in '
poco_wide_12_r316_new/fft_wideband_real/fft_biplex_real_4x/biplex_core':
Initialization commands cannot be evaluated.
Error in '
poco_wide_12_r316_new/fft_wideband_real/fft_biplex_real_4x/biplex_core/fft_stage_1':
Initialization commands cannot be evaluated.
Error due to multiple causes.
Unable to load block diagram 'casper_library_bus'
There is no block named 'casper_library_bus/bus_single_port_ram'
Do you have a recommendation on how to fix this error?


Best,
Alec
