Re: [casper] Sysgen compilation error

I should probably mention - clone casperfpga from the "devel" branch, not
"master".

 Have you followed these steps when setting up your tools flow?
 https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/MSSGE_Setup_with_Xilinx_14.x_and_Matlab_2012b

 Particularly this step:

 The syntax in the Xilinx Perl scripts is not supported under the Ubuntu
 default shell Dash. Change the symbolic link sh -> dash to sh -> bash:

- cd /bin/
- sudo rm sh
- sudo ln -s bash sh

Re: [casper] Sysgen compilation error

2016-02-14 Thread James Smith 
Mugundhan,

The fpg file is intended for ROACH2 and tcpborphserver3 - you can safely
ignore it, but it's useful for some extra features.

If you use the casperfpga library (https://github.com/ska-sa/casperfpga)
instead of the old corr library, then you can successfully program the
ROACH.

The procedure for using it is not 100% the same - you'd use the following
commands:

import casperfpga
fpga = casperfpga.katcp_fpga.KatcpFpga('roachname')
fpga.system_info['program_filename'] = '%s.bof' % gateware #bof needs to be
on the roachfs for this to work
fpga.program()
fpga.get_system_information('%s.fpg' % gateware) % fpg file needs to be in
the current directory

There are some more cool things that you can do with the new casperfpga
library, I can try to summarize them a bit later if you need, but you can
learn a lot by playing around with it.

Regards,
James

Re: [casper] Sysgen compilation error

Hello again,

I have the latest ska-sa mlib devel installed. With this, I'm able to
compile the model file and the bof files are created. There is also a new
file with the format .fpg created. During my previous compilation cycle,
with older mlib-devel, (probably june 2015 version) the .fpg file is not
created. Secondly, if I burn the bof file created with the new mlib-devel
using progdev() function, the roach 1 is not getting programmed. Can
someone guide me as to what am I missing here ? and also, what is the .fpg
file ? what is it used for ?

Thank you,

Mugundhan

 Hello guys,

 I'm running matlab/xilinx and mssge tools on a ubuntu 14.04 system.
 When I do casper_xps and start compiling, I get this strange error.

 standard exception: XNetlistEngine:
 Exception message could not be parsed:
 com.xilinx.sysgen.netlist.NetlistInternal: couldn't open first pass

 Has anyone got this before ?

 Is there any workaround ?

This is an issue with dash in ubuntu, if you change your shell from dash to
bash it interprets the perl scripts properly.

Haven't encountered that specific issue before but I see a capital letter
