[casper] Trouble with Casper DSP sincos block

2013-09-19 Thread Paul Marganian
Hi, I've recently been having problems with the Casper DSP sincos block. I'll successfully run a number of simulations, then I start getting these errors at compile time: Error in 'test_sin/sincos1 matlab:open_and_hilite_system%20%28%27test_sin/sincos1%27%29': Initialization commands

Sorry Andrew, I can't seem to find any of the alternatives you recommended. We're using xlinx 14.3, and our mlib_devel's most recent commit was May of this year. Thanks again, Paul On 09/19/2013 11:41 AM, Paul Marganian wrote: Thanks Andrew, I'll look into those other blocks. The problem

Gary, Can you confirm the same mlib_devel checkout was used for both compiles? --Laura On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 11:12 AM, Gary, Dale E. dale.e.g...@njit.eduwrote: Hi All, I am not sure how many out there are using or planning to use the KatADC boards in their projects, but I thought I

Hi Laura, No. The one with 11.5 used an old commit 1c2035ed9e4f4bcc98e9f08f2722d34dd4f10872 (Nov 12, 2012) from ska-sa. I believe Dave M used the latest one from casper-astro (waiting for his answer). So, as a caveat to what Dale has mentioned in his email, the problem could be between yellow

Sounds reasonable. We persisted with 11.5 for ROACH2 so far, but we feel that it is high time we migrate to latest tools. So instead of 13.x, we are going for the latest 14.5. Others can comment if there are any red flags in using latest commit with 11.5. Thanks, Nimish On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at

Nimish, Thanks. My colleagues are planning on doing exactly what you mentioned: programming ROACH2 KatADCs with the 11.5 tools we had used to previously and successfully program ROACH1. The advice I would give them after hearing this discussion is as follows: [*] build the design with their

Hi, Paul, Another option would be to use the DDS Compiler block from system generator. That can be used to generate sin/cos signals as well. I'm not sure whether it has all the same options as the CASPER sin/cos block, but could be worth looking into. Hope this helps, Dave On Sep 19, 2013,
