Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Kaj Wiik]

Hi Heystek,

That's wonderful news, congrats! I found that getting the toolchain working
is very hard and tedious, working with it is fun! :-)

Also, it should be noted that 99% of the setup problems are from Python,
Matlab, and Vivado and not from the CASPER toolflow itself.

Good luck with your project!

Cheers,
Kaj

[Heystek Grobler]

Hey Mitch. 

Thank you for the reply. 

The Python version that my system is returning is 3.7.13. 

Should I rather use Python 3.8? I have noticed that matlab2021a does not 
support python3.9. 

Thank you

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Mitchell Burnett]

Hi Haystek,

This most likely is a python version conflict. When you activate your Python 
environment, what is the version of Python that `python -V` returns? For me, my 
casper dev env returns Python 3.8.2.

The second tutorial incorporates the RFDC yellow block. When the back end tool 
encounters this block there is additional code that is triggered to support the 
software defined capabilities of the RFDC in the on-chip processor. This is why 
running the first tutorial this may go unnoticed but encountered when building 
subsequent models for RFSoC.

Hope this helps,
Mitch

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Mitch Burnett]

Hi Heystek,

I think it better if you used 20.04. Is the first machine (18.04) the one that 
crashes and that when you have had Matlab working that comes from your second 
machine (20.04)?

I just did some tests and was able to reproduce your issue with generating the 
dtbo. In your xilinx device tree repo, checkout the `xlnx_rel_v2021.1` branch. 
This is not in the "Getting Started with RFSoC” guide, and now needs to be. We 
will need to make sure to get this change documented.

Additionally, I also now realize that mlib_devel `m2021a` branch will not work 
with the most recent tutorials that were recently updated for new changes that 
fixes a slew of issues with the rfdc yellow block. This is because those 
changes are in the `m2021a-dev` branch of mlib_devel and yet to be merged into 
`m2021a`. Hopefully we can do that soon. But, for now, please be sure to also 
checkout the `m2021a-dev` branch of your mlib_devel repo before moving into the 
subsequent tutorials that use the rfdc (the adc interface and spectrometer 
tutorials).

Best,
Mitch

Hi Heystek, Mitch, all,

The System Generator hanging issue occasionally still happens to me too (but

There is a note 
here
 under step 5 of "How to install MATLAB" in the CASPER ReadTheDocs instructions 
that says toolbox clashes have been tentatively accepted as the cause for this 
problem. There is also a link to a Xilinx AMD blog post where if you click on 
"more answers" at the bottom, you will see a list of MATLAB toolboxes that 
someone else determined as being compatible with System Generator.

If your SysGen hanging issue happens with every compile, then check your MATLAB 
toolboxes against this list and uninstall any not listed. Or if you don't need 
any specific toolboxes, then just ensure that you have only the ones required 
by the CASPER tools installed (i.e. the ones Mitch has listed, that are also 
listed in the link I have provided above).

I've not encountered the "std::exception error", but that's only because I'm 
still using 18.04 and not 20.04 - the guide that Mitch has pointed you to in 
the Xilinx AMD docs should hopefully fix that.

One last thing - in order to be mindful of any one person's inbox, I'd

recommend that you send your replies on a thread to the mailing list rather
than a specific person. This way anyone else who has encountered these
issues may provide guidance, and anyone who might encounter these issues in
the future will be able to find the thread in the mailing list archive.

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Mitch Burnett]

Hi Heystek,

One thing first, then the hang issue. From your screenshot of your 
startsg.local I notice that you need to add an additional env variable to the 
Xilinx device tree repo, and that you need to change the back end env variable 
form vivado to Vitis. Please compare your startsg.local file to the one shown 
in Getting Started With 
RFSoC
 tutorial.

Now your remaining issue… Unfortunately, System Generator hanging like this is 
a known issue but I am not aware of if we know of the cause. I believe the best 
known explanation for this this that is a race condition between System 
Generator and Simulink where the return from System Generator is not received 
by the main Simulink process and results in the hang. This phenomena 
occasionally happens to me, but seldomly.

However, here is more info for you that if you have not done the following 
during your setup this may be something else you want to pay attention to. At 
one time folks at SARAO had reported that with every attempted build this issue 
would occur. I recall that we determined the issue was a mix of a few things: 
1) before installing Vitis/Model Composer the symbolic links in the the Xilinx 
Model Composer installation 
guide
 needed to be completed. The instructions mention either installing gcc6 or 
creating the symbolic links mentioned in that previous link. I have only ever 
done the symbolic link approach. Mugundhan recently reported here that this 
seemed to remove the "std::exception error" when starting system generator. 2) 
In addition to this gcc nuance, this didn’t seem to be enough and we found 
(through anecdotal evidence) that the hanging was also related to additional 
matlab add-on toolboxes that were installed but not required. Because of this, 
it is recommended to only install the following toolboxes when installing 
matlab: Simulink, Communications toolbox, DSP System toolbox, Fixed-Point 
Designer toolbox, Signal Processing toolbox. I want to recall that it was the 
Matlab or Simulink SDK toolbox that when installed interfere with the operation 
of Matlab.

Dealing with this hanging issue is heuristic. I am not aware of a full solution.

Even with all this, when this happens to me (again seldom… but does happen) I 
click the “cancel” button that appears on the bottom of the model window (the 
window where the model canvas containing the blocks are placed — there is a 
status bar for the model generation status and the cancel button is next to 
that)  then I spam ctrl-c inside the terminal where I ran `./startsg 
starts.local`. This will usually trigger the interrupt caught by System 
Generator and closes the System Generator Compilation status with control 
returning back to Matlab (I have access to the command prompt that now reports 
a nonsensical error) and I can then rerun `jasper`. I can think of a handful of 
times where the interrupt is not caught and just have to close Matlab entirely 
and start fresh (I have never lost a model file or saved progress when this 
happens).

Best,
Mitch

I have followed the steps but I can't seem to get the error message "caught

This issue is most likely caused in a discrepancy between the python

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Jack Hickish]

I _think_ that's all you need.

FYI - you can probably get a 30 day trial (or 90 in the case of sysgen)
license for free, which should save you waiting for XUP.

Cheers
Jack

 Thank you so much for the email.

 I have included screenshots of the licence manager below:

 

 

 

 Do I need another/different licence from Xilinx or is there a way
 around this?

 Thank you for the help.

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Heystek Grobler]

Hey Jack and Kaj.

Thank you so much for the help and guidance. So the license I got with the
RFSoC ZSU111 does not contain the Xilinx ML Enterprise Edition and it also
does not contain SysGen.

My University (The University of Pretoria) is reaching out to Xilinx to buy
the appropriate licence. Will it suffice if the University gets the Xilinx
ML Enterprise Edition and SysGen or should something else be added to it?

Thank you for the help!

 Hi Heystek,

 As the error in the diagnostic viewer suggests -- you don't seem to
 have an appropriate sysgen license, in either the default search paths (I
 think at least one of these is ~/.Xilinx/Xilinx.lic) or specified with an
 environment variable. Do you think you have a license the system isn't
 finding or is it possible you just need to get one from Xilinx?

 Also, the "Could not find Vitis installation" at the start of the
 MATLAB prompt is concerning, but I don't think that's the current issue.

 Cheers
 Jack

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Jack Hickish]

I would suggest trying to get the new license. I'm suspect that Vivado 2020
supports the RFSoC chips you want (though I haven't checked) but using an
older version than the toolflow suggests will almost certainly lead to
other issues. Swimming against the CASPER version-tide is never a
particularly fun thing to do :)

 I hope that this email finds you well.

 I am used to working with a ROACH2 and have now started with an RFSoC
 ZCU111. I followed the instructions on the CASPER Read The Docs Page and
 installed Ubuntu 20.04, Matlab 2021a and Vivado 2021.1.

 When I try to compile the first tutorial with jasper I get the

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

[Kaj Wiik]

Hi Heystek,

Usually the license comes with the full set, at least the academic ones
that we get and the components (like Sysgen) are not specifically listed in
the license file. They are also 'backwards compatible' so 2023.6 should
work just fine with e.g. 2021.1. Maybe for some reason Sysgen is missing
from your license? Also, if you installed 'Vivado only', you should
reinstall and select 'Vitis', it comes with Vivado (I was first confused
about this :-)).

Good luck,
Kaj

Re: [casper] Help with setting up RFSoC

Hey Jack. 

Should I then try to get a SysGen/ModelComposer license for 2021.1 or is there 
a way to still use Vivado 2020.06 with the RFSoC? 

Thank you for the help!
