[casper] casperfpga and fpg's

2015-02-17 Thread Matt Strader
Hello Casperites,

I'm looking into using the QDR on Roach2, which I understand needs some
software calibration.  So, I was looking into the ska-sa/casperfpga repo,
but I see some code in here uses KATCP commands that I don't have (e.g.
?meta, ?progremote).  Is there a newer tcpborphserver3 that has these?

When connecting to the roach, it tells me my tcpborphserver version is
#version memcpy-88-g38ad77a-dirty
#build-state 2013-04-11T11:50:43

On a possibly related note, I understood from the Casper workshop last
summer, that .fpg files are like .bof files but contain metadata for the
gateware design.  Should I be able to use ?progdev to load a .fpg onto a
Roach2?  When I try I get:

#log info 11090019 raw
attempting\_to\_program\_qdr_bram2_2014_May_29_1919.fpg
#log error 11090028 raw bad\_magic\_in\_file\_bof\_header
!progdev fail


Thanks,

Morning Matt

Yeah, you need to have the new commands in your tcpborphserver3. I'll check
with Marc to get you a newer version and mail you off-list. You're
solo-booting, right?

Regards
Paul
