[casper] ADC16x250 SERDES calibration issues

2015-11-04 Thread Danny Price
Hi all We are seeing some errors where our ADC16x250 cards don’t seem to be completing SERDES calibration successfully when programmed (using the adc16_init.rb script).  Running the adc16_status.rb script we see errors like this: rofl1: Design built for ROACH2 rev2 with 8 ADCs (ZDOK rev2)

Hi, Danny, If you have its dependencies installed, the adc16_plot_taps.rb script can be useful for showing the deskew stuff. The sync errors seem really strange. What is the ADC clock frequency? Have you tried swapping ADC clock cables between a “good” ROACH2 and a “bad/marginal” ROACH2?
