It turns out that tcpborphserver had become defunct. After I restarted it, I got an very encouraging response: kuiper@roachnest:/opt/CASPER/tutorials_devel/workshop_2010/roach_tut3_wideband_spec$ sudo ./spectrometer.py roach1 -b r_spec_2048_r105_2010_Jul_26_1205.bof Connecting to server roach1 o

I think the bof file will still program even if it's compiled for the wrong ADC. It just won't work beyond that (the FPGA will probably act like it doesn't have an input clock). Glenn On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 5:43 PM, Tom Kuiper wrote: > On 03/02/2012 04:49 PM, Dan Werthimer wrote: > >> if you are

hi tom, i don't know of any tutorial that uses the KatADC, they all use the iADC board. but our colleagues in South Africa have developed spectrometer and correlators that use the KatADC. they might have some designs you could use to test your KatADC. best wishes, dan On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 5

Hey Dan, I'm following along closely here. Will we also need to manually set the registers for the katadc or is that built into the .bof file upon execution? I am reading the KatADC data sheet along with looking at the corr.katadc functions. Is there any documentation about the katadc block or

hi tom, if you are using kat-ADC's, you'll need to change the adc yellow block in the tutorial. dan On Fri, Mar 2, 2012 at 3:57 PM, Kuiper, Thomas (3266) wrote: > I think that's it! I after replacing the file system, I made the > necessary changes from memory and general sys admin knowledge.

Hi, Tom, That's definitely not the most helpful error message. Here are a couple of things to check: Does the bof file have execute permissions? Is it in the right directory? Dave On Mar 2, 2012, at 3:09 PM, Kuiper, Thomas (3266) wrote: > After the challenges I shared with you and more that

After the challenges I shared with you and more that I didn't, I've reached a reasonably satisfactory state. I say that because I think I'm finally at the hardware/firmware level. The hardware: KatADC in Z-Doc 0 of a ROACH-1. 800 MHz at 0 dBm going in to clk. The firmware: from the tutorial.
