Re: [casper] CASPER 10 GbE yellow block

2013-02-13 Thread Dan Werthimer
hi rich,

we've transmitted 9.9 Gbit/sec on roach1, with the 10Gbe yellow block from
the library
about 4 months ago.   i'm not sure if there have been revisions since then.

best,

dan

Hi, Nimish,

Sorry for my "10_Gbe_v2" typo.  I meant "ten_Gbe_v2".  There is no "10_Gbe_v2" 
block.  I am using the "ten_Gbe_v2" block for ROACH2.

Re: [casper] CASPER 10 GbE yellow block

2013-02-13 Thread Nimish Sane
Hi Dave and others,

I was under the impression that "ten_Gbe_v2" was suppose to support ROACH2
as well. At least, its mask supports parameters specific to ROACH2 (such as
choice between CX4, SFP+ and ports etc.). Rather, these options are
available in the mask only for ROACH2.

Is "10_Gbe_v2" part of SKA-SA github repository now and is that supposed to
be used instead of "ten_Gbe_v2"? I have not updated the repository of late
and have been using ten_Gbe_v2 for my ROACH2 design.

Thanks,

Nimish

Hi, John,

My current work is on ROACH2 and the "10_Gbe_v2" block is the only 10 GbE block 
supported on ROACH2 so that's the one I'm currently designing with (but not yet 
using myself).  I'm not sure which block Christopher used in the packet 
generator.  His design ran on a ROACH so it could have been using the "ten_GbE" 
or "ten_Gbe_v2" block.

It was mostly just curiosity on my part, but are you using the same blocks
