[casper] ROACH 1 root file system image

[Colm Bracken]

Hello All,

I hope everyone is well.

Does anyone have a backup of the UBOOT disk image for *ROACH 1*?
The link that previously hosted the image is now dead, my backup file is
corrupted it seems.

Thanks a Million,
Colm

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Mitch Burnett]

Sorry, I should be more helpful to specifically point out which of the issues 
in this list on the CASPER wiki link that you are running into.

Morag had pointed you in the right direction. Your specific issue is that there 
is a conflict between a library in the Ubuntu installation and the same library 
used by Vivado but using its own copy, that also happens to be a different 
version. Morag’s explanation about how to handle this is the correct approach. 
It is also the approach detailed in the blog post on the casper wiki link I 
posted. The specific blog post in reference is this one: 
https://strath-sdr.github.io/tools/matlab/sysgen/vivado/linux/2021/01/28/sysgen-on-20-04.html

Hi Heystek,

The full set of instructions and how to overcome different issues based on the 
version of Ubuntu is documented on the CASPER wiki for installing the toolflow 
here: 
https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html#a-note-on-operating-systems

This has the solutions to all the current known issues with running the tools 
on these version of Ubuntu.

Sorry you are having these issues.

Hi Heystek,

Indeed, it took me a while to remember this issue, please see my notes:
https://gitlab.utu.fi/kjwiik/casper-installation#matlab-errors

Also, I think you did not install Vitis, when asked in installation, you should 
select to install Vitis, not Vivado (Vitis selection also installs Vivado).
Unfortunately, I think you have to reinstall because at least I do not know how 
to add Vitis to  Vivado install.

I hope this helps,
Kaj

Hey Morag and everyone.

I have installed kde-full and I am still getting the same issues and errors. 
Below are screenshots:







I searched through the mail list. In the list Kaj Wiik encountered the same 
problem, but I can not find the solution.

@Kaj did you perhaps manage to find a way for the toolchain to work? In the 
email list you and Mitch Burnett talked about posting a recipe somewhere for 
this.

Thank you for the help.

Hi Heystek,

Can't remember for sure, but I think that "MATLABWindow application failed to 
launch" issue has been fixed in the past by installing the kde-full package.

Otherwise I think the issue in red above is a library clashing issue - I gather 
the end of that error message says something about an undefined symbol, which 
would be because libhogweed expects a different version of the library it 
depends on than what is actually being used. If you run the following in the 
MATLAB terminal:

!ldd /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libhogweed.so.2

It might show you that it's using the libgmp version that comes with Model 
Composer/Vivado. If you move that out of the path (typically you can just make 
an "exclude" directory within the directory containing the MC/Vivado libraries 
and move the offending items into that, so you can recover them later should 
you need), it will then use the system version of the library, which will 
hopefully have what is needed.

I recall there being a few issues like this on the mailing list in the path, so 
searching the archives should hopefully provide more info if you need.

Hey Jack, Dan and Francois.

Thank you so much for the help and guidance, I really appreciate it!

We reached out to the Xilinx University Program and received the necessary 
licenses. Below is an image of the license manager.




I have set up everything according to the getting started page but I ran into 
the following errors when trying to open Simulink. Has anyone encountered 
something like this?


Thank you so much for the help!

Re: [casper] RFSoC not supported

[Mitchell Burnett]

Hi Aman,

This is an inconsistency in the `casper-astro/tutorials_devel` repository. The 
`activate_platform.sh` script does not have a case to handle an `rfsoc` option. 
However, RFSoC is supported within the tutorials.

As long as you have completed the “Getting Started With RFSoC 
”
 instructions you should be able to successfully follow along any of the 
subsequent tutorials (Platform tutorial 
,
 RFDC interface 
,
 Spectrometer 
,
 etc.) or straight away build from the existing completed model files 
 in their 
respective directory (i.e., the completed model file for the platform tutorial 
is in tut_platform 
).

Hope this helps,

Mitch
