Hi Heystek,
I adapted casperfpga to work with ROACH but before you take the following
advice please bear in mind that I haven't updated my working version of it
for some time: I'm on commit 475ed6826b893230d62da8c7dcdcc2541bea83cf of
the devel branch, Fri Mar 4 17:27:09 2016. Newer versions *shouldn't* break
the approach that I use but I can't guarantee it as I haven't tested it.
So with that having been said, this is what I do to fire up ROACH1 boards
with casperfpga:
gateware = "my_compiled_file"
fpga = casperfpga.katcp_fpga.KatcpFpga(RoachIP, roachKATCPPort)
fpga.system_info['program_filename'] = '%s.bof' % gateware #bof needs to be
in appropriate directory on roachfs
fpga.program()
fpga.get_system_information('%s.fpg' % gateware) # fpg file needs to be in
same directory as script being run
Proceed as normal with casperfpga. If that doesn't work, post again with
the error messages you get and we'll see what we can do.
Regards,
James
