I mean wherever you have defined the startudp function. I notice there's already this line in there: xil_printf("UDP pcb instantiated\n\r"); If I recall, this message will go to the RS-232 serial port. I suggest watching the output from that port when you try to send the startudp command and see i

Hi Jason, I finally traced the problem to the two USB cables that were used to connect the Valon. I did not think that I should also try a third cable! The synthesiser is now recognised. Thanks for all your help! Cheers, Ramesh On 10 Jul 2014, at 10:57, Jason Manley wrote: > Hmmm... weird

Hmmm... weird. Try another computer? USB cable (maybe it's not plugged-in all the way cos the metal box is getting in the way)? I've not seen this behaviour before on any of our Debian, Ubuntu, Mac or Windows XP computers with any of our Valon units here. Jason Manley CBF Manager SKA-SA Cell:

Did you plug the power into the Valon unit? The last one I used didn't power off USB. Jason On 10 Jul 2014, at 10:23, Ramesh Karuppusamy wrote: > > Dear Casperites, > > Has anyone reading this post succeed in getting Valon 5008 recognised in > Linux? > > Both Valon 5008 and the USB serial

Dear Casperites, Has anyone reading this post succeed in getting Valon 5008 recognised in Linux? Both Valon 5008 and the USB serial module for Valon 5007 use FT232R chip. However I see no sign of this device when connected to a Linux-box (as reported by ‘dmesg’ or ‘lsusb’). The ROACH2’s FTDI
