[casper] System Compatibility
Greetings, I am working with the ROACH 2 in order to implement the MUSIC project. I am having a lot of troubles to compile the Tutorial 1 (Introduction to Simulink) due to mismatch between Xilinx ISE 14.5 and my Operating System, Ubuntu 10.04. I would like to know if it's possible to run this example using Ubuntu. Otherwise, I can install Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.3, Matlab 12b and Xilinx 14.5 to run the codes. I look forward hearing from you. Best Regards, Victor Cardoso.
Re: [casper] System Compatibility
Hi Victor, I strongly recommend using Xilinx's 14.7 release. Some people use Ubuntu 12.04 -- see https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/MSSGE_Setup_with_Xilinx_14.x_and_Matlab_2012b -- but as Dan says, life might be easier with a supported operating system...

We use 12.04 + 14.7 without issues here at Penn.

Re: [casper] System Compatibility
Hi Victor, We used to use Ubuntu 14.04, and it kind of worked, but it wasn't stable. Switched to the most recent version of CentOS about a month ago and haven't had problems since. Xilinx v14.7, Matlab 2012b.
