[casper] How to enable multithreading in XST/PAR in 11.5?

2012-06-05 Thread Mandana Amiri
Hi everyone, I finally notice that xst and map are running on one CPU core only when I try to compile our correlator design. I read on Xilinx website that Xilinx 11.5 supports multi-threading for Virtex-5 series. Does anyone know how to enable multithreading in Casper toolflow? Mandana

Hi all, We have finally setup two dual-polarization antennas and we are acquiring data using a Roach board and 2 iADC boards. We are running a slight variation of poco design in tutorial 4, sampling at 850MHz. We adjusted the equalizer gains for each frequency bin separately, but the same

2011-02-28 Thread Mandana Amiri
Hi everyone, I download poco (tut4) on my Roach board and supply -10dbm 250MHz signals and when I read back the value of the status register, I have x 000f0f00, which means fft_over and eq_clip are set. I tried changing the quant0_gain, etc values hoping that eq_clip would be cleared, but it

[casper] spectrometer.py compatibility with wxpython

2010-09-09 Thread Mandana Amiri
Hi, I have wxpython installed as the graphical backend of matplotlib. I find that the latest spectrum.py script uses figure.canvas.manager.window.after and the attribute 'after' is not supported in wx. I notice that this is supported in tk. So is 'tk' the preferred backend that you

Hi, We are going to use the Roach board (arriving soon!) for a proof-of-concept design. I am in the process of setting up the toolflow and I need to decide between windows versus RHEL. I read the following thread dated mid-March:
