Thanks Wesley for your answer. I've followed your instruction: - I've sourced the file; - I've launched xlcm; - Within xlcm I've tried to import the file Xilinx.lic using the button Copy License (maybe is it not the proper way to import the License?) The problem remains. I apologize, It' s the

You should go to the 2nd tab Manage Licenses and the click on the Load license button. This will tell you if the license is up to date and what features it supports. Hope this helps. Wesley New South African SKA Project +2721 506 7365 www.ska.ac.za On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 2:26 PM, Andrea

Hi, Here is some clarification. To be precise it seems impossible to calibrate the ADC board connected to ZDOK0. (the other one than Ricardo mentioned). We have a script which tries to calibrate the 4 cores inside the ADC board considering phase,amplitude and offsets. So what we do is

Dear Wesley, I've fixed the problem. The license I have is a floating license so I need to start the server on the machine for which the license was generated in order to use this it. The right command is: lmgrd -c directory_license_file/xilinx.lic -l debug.log file Thanks a lot for your help,

Hi, Tom, I suggest using an oscilloscope to probe the SPI signals on the ZDOK0 ADC card while writing to it. Based on this schematic: https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/images/d/d2/Schematic_ADC_A2_5G_DMUX11.pdf ...it looks like you can probe them at CN5 or CN2 since you know the cards

Hi, Katty, It looks like something is going wrong accessing the filesystem. Maybe it's because of the ñ (n with a tilde over it) character in the path? Maybe the path is just too long? Is the filesystem full? Is there a permissions problem? Hope this helps, Dave On Sep 10, 2014, at 12:54

Hi Katty, We've already spoken about this, but I thought I'd reply to the maillist in case others with the same problem land here -- I've had this problem once before, after checking the potential things Dave mentioned, I tried restarting Matlab and the problem disappeared. Not really a solution,

Hi Tom (and Ricardo), Thanks for the clarification, there was initially some question here as to whether the “calibration” you refer to is MMCM clock calibration (which sets up the ADC to ZDOK interface), or the quad core calibration. Based on your response you mean quad core calibration. In

Hi Jonathan, Sorry for the confusion, describing a problem like this is more difficult than I first anticipated. In our code basically the first things we do are: - Doing the MMCM calibration: opt1, glitches1 = adc.calibrate_mmcm_phase(fpga, 1, ['snapshot1',]) - Clear the OGP registers:

Hi Tom, I think you need to use rww_tools.set_zdok(1) if you want to adjust ZDOK1, and of course set it back to 0 when you want to adjust ZDOK0. Best, Rurik On Fri, Sep 12, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Geelen, T.F.G. t.f.g.gee...@student.tue.nl wrote: Hi Jonathan, Sorry for the confusion, describing a
