Re: [casper] Compiling for roach2 on RHEL7

2020-06-30 Thread Wesley New 
As someone who has tried plenty of combinations of Matlab, Xilinx and OS
versions over the years with varying success. I would recommend installing
a VM with the supported versions. If you are keen to maximize compile
resources try using lxc or chroot.

Good luck.

Hi Michael,

You might be able to get 2014b to play nicely with the toolflow, but 2013b
was the last supported version for ISE 14.7, so it would be better to go
with that if you can. What sort of OS errors are you getting?

One alternative, if you can't get RHEL to work, might be to create a VM of
e.g. ubuntu 16.04 or similar to spin up when you need to do ROACH2 work.

Cheers,
Jonathon

[casper] Compiling for roach2 on RHEL7

2020-06-30 Thread Michael D'Cruze 
Hi everyone,

I'm clutching at straws a little, but I've recently obtained a RHEL7 system for 
use with the Vivado toolflow. What we'd really like is to be able to compile 
models using the "old" ISE toolflow on this new machine. I wondered if anyone 
had been able to make this happen? I've got RHEL 7.8, various Matlab versions, 
and ISE 14.7.

There appear to be some fairly fundamental compatibility issues between the OS 
and Matlab versions prior to 2014b, though I'm going to ask our local IT 
support to look at this. Versions at least 2016b and later throw a tantrum when 
casper_xps is run. 2014b is the most promising at the moment, getting a fair 
way through casper_xps before complaining about certain Matlab files requiring 
absolute paths. An internet search doesn't yield anything promising.

Anyway, if you've been able to make a combination similar to what I've got work 
correctly, please get in touch.

Thanks!
Michael
