Re: [casper] Fwd: ROACH 2 First Use
Thanx for the info.
Took me some time to install corr and all the libraries.
Now i open a Python session in Ubuntu Terminal.
import corr : working
f=corr.katcp_wrapper.FpgaClient('roach020701') : This line gives an error.
It says the name roach020701 is not defined, but this is my roach serial
number?
What will cause this or am I doing something wrong.
Thank you
Roelof Burger

Re: [casper] Fwd: ROACH 2 First Use
Sorry,
Scrap my previous message. I forgot the ' ' syntax.
The next function: upload_program_bof('r2_switch_tst_aux_2014_Apr_01_
1551.bof.gz',6).
HOw does it work. Where do I specify the path from anf to where?
Thanx

Re: [casper] Fwd: ROACH 2 First Use
I suggest you use corr to do this for you. It makes life easy. Enter a python
session, and then:
In [1]: import corr
In [2]: f=corr.katcp_wrapper.FpgaClient('roach020934')
In [3]: f.upload_program_bof('r2_switch_tst_aux_2014_Apr_01_1551.bof.gz',6)

Thanx for the assistance.
I am still struggling to transfer files over csp or WinSCP to the roach 2.
In a telnet session i run the command ?help upload.
It returns: #help upload
upload\_a\_compresses\_bitstream\_to\_device\_(?upload\_port)
How do I execute this command to upload a file?
Does someone have a very basic good explanation of transferring a file onto
the roach 2? I am totally lost for 2 days now.
Thank you

Hi John,
Thanx for the quick response.
I can ping the ROACH from my windows and UBUNTU machines. They are on the
same domains
I left a TELNET session open just now, and when i run the command: ssh -p
7147 root@ip_address command from UBUNTU
i see the following on the TELNET session: #log info 946781856113 raw
new\_client\_connection\_ip_address:57673
#client-connected ip_address:57673
Does this mean the connection was good? How do I transfer the.bof file now?
There are a number of commands to upload a file on that control connection
(use ?help to see them)
These commands will open another port (I think by default 7146) which
can then receive the bof file. Either you send it across using your own code,
or you can use something like netcat or socat.
From memory
nc -w 2 -q 2 roachip 7146 yourboffile.bof
(aside: this isn't that different how ftp works, internally - the ftp
client just hides it from you)
If you have kcpcmd installed that can do all that in one go, and set
up an alias for it

Re: [casper] Fwd: ROACH 2 First Use
Good day, Thank you, should I do this from my Linux Machine, my windows machine or directly on the serial link to the roach board?

Re: [casper] Fwd: ROACH 2 First Use
Good day, Thank you, should I do this from my Linux Machine, my windows machine or directly on the serial link to the roach board? From your Linux machine, IMO, but it might run on Windows Python, I don't know... You have to install the package into your python installation. As Jason says, it makes life much easier. You need it to set and collect information from the registers and brams on the board, too. John .

Re: [casper] Fwd: ROACH 2 First Use
Hi John, Thanx for the quick response. I can ping the ROACH from my windows and UBUNTU machines. They are on the same domains I left a TELNET session open just now, and when i run the command: ssh -p 7147 root@ip_address command from UBUNTU i see the following on the TELNET session: #log info 946781856113 raw new\_client\_connection\_ip_address:57673 #client-connected ip_address:57673 Does this mean the connection was good? How do I transfer the.bof file now? When in the telnet window, can you execute the help command and see the available commands? Is there an uploadbof command? On my system there is, but we don't use it so I can't say for sure how it works... ?help uploadbof #help uploadbof upload\_a\_(possibly\_compressed)\_boffile\_(?uploadbof\_port\_filename\_[length\_[timeout]]) !help ok 1 I was trying with scp -p 7147 file_location/file.bof root@ ip_address:/usr/bof But this does nothing and nothing happens on the TELNET session No, that's not going to work. Port 7147 is the port to the tcpborphserver that understands the KATCP protocol. It doesn't speak scp I would try it all through the telnet interface first, I think, then use ssh later if you must. I am not familiar with how that works, though. I think your system is workin
