Yep, it's the process on the RPi that configures the FPGA and responds to requests from casperfpga. The tcpborphserver starts up as a daemon when the RPi boots (this is setup via linux's upstart service), after which it listens for commands over the Ethernet port. The code is here: https://github

tcpborphserver is a server designed to control roaches. It speaks KATCP over port 7147. There are three versions of tcpborphserver at the moment. ps; however i dont have a clue on what that means :) On Thu, Aug 30, 2018 at 3:19 AM Nivek Ghazi wrote: > > Hi Wesley, Danny, > > It don't think its wa

Sounds like you do have the official image I'll upload it to the wiki! tcpborphserver is a server which runs on the RPI and speaks katcp (the protocol the roaches use). It basically receives katcp read/write/program commands over a TCP socket and then actions them on the FPGA using the chip's

Hi Wesley, Danny, It don't think its was a power issue as the RPi 3b+ was getting its power from the 40 pin connection to the SNAP board. I measured the current draw to be around 1.1A at idle when using a RPi 3b and around 1.8A when running firmware. These measurements were made by connecting a

Hi Nivek, I had the same issue, I think the image is not compatible with RPi3. I worked around this, and got tcpborphserver running on the stock RPi3 image, try this: https://drive.google.com/open?id=19ZSioiAVmYqa1w6SHvdIwo47Wi4wGefI Let me know if this works for you too; in which case might be

Hi Nivek, I would take a read through this https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/19354/raspberry-pi-with-boots-up-with-rainbow-screen Also confirm that you have a power supply that can deliver 2.5A at 5v. I have not used that image before, but you can plug the card into your PC and che

Hey Casper people, So, I recently got a raspberry pi 3 b+ and looking to get it working with the SNAP board. I've download the image from the SNAP bringup tutorial and tried to get it to boot but it fails (the raspberry pi basically just outputs a rainbow pattern on the monitor with the red po
