Re: [casper] Configuring 40GbE Yellow Block in JASPER

Morning Mark Please have a look here for SKARAB 40gbe TX and RX models with demo software. https://github.com/ska-sa/mkat_fpga/tree/devel/source/skarab_dev/tut2 Cheers Paul On 30 June 2017 at 07:46, Jason Manley wrote: > Hi Mark > > The current SKARAB 40G yellowblock is a

Re: [casper] casperfpga library

Hi Vishwa 1. It's meant to make using CASPER fpga designs a bit easier to use. This mostly revolves around pulling information about the design from the running FPGA or bitstream file and then providing methods to access the hardware. So, for example, for registers and snapblocks, it provides

Re: [casper] ROCH 2 communication through Python

Afternoon Aniket If you can telnet to the katcp interface on the ROACH2 then casperfpga should work. Two things to bear in mind: 1. You only really benefit from using casperfpga if you're using .fpg files (.bof + design info) from the toolflow, not .bofs. The SKA SA mlib_devel produces fpgs, I'm

Hi James Check the sblock_to_info script in the +design_info (no, the plus isn't a mistake, it's a matlab thing) folder in your xps_library folder. Something is that script is not happy with one of the blocks in your model file. Cheers Paul On 1 June 2015 at 10:27, James Smith jsm...@ska.ac.za

Re: [casper] Suggested convention for writing registers

Morning James We do this in already in the casperfpga package: https://github.com/ska-sa/casperfpga It turns out construct is pretty slow, so we just do the conversions and shifts manually. I think currently the fpg files that are automatically parsed by casperfpga are only generated for ROACH2,

Re: casper-scm registers.info problems

Morning. Yeah, sorry, that was me. I've fixed it. Thanks for the heads-up, Glenn. It's for a block that wraps the software register so that bitfields written to/from a register are written to a text file on generation. Then your control software can read that file and set up bit structures

Re: [casper] Roach2 configuration and setup

Afternoon Guy Regarding question 3... if you're running tcpborphserver3 you can use the upload_bof method in the FpgaClient class in corr to upload a bof file to your ROACH. I just checked and it took about 12s to copy a boffile using this. Once it's uploaded, though, it will skip uploading it

Re: [casper] Problem setting parameters in fft blocks using mlib_devel

Afternoon Ken I've seen similar behaviour when the block I'm using is cached by Matlab oddly. Or that's how I'd describe what happens, anyway. Two quick things to try: 1. Browse to the CASPER libraries in the library browser. Do they refresh when you open them? 2. Right click on the offending

Re: [casper] Request for a sample bof file

Morning Tom The init scripts for the PFB weren't actually ever telling you that you had an error. Now they do. So you will see some error messages if you open a design with the old PFB block. And unfortunately, the way the init scripts are called, you may see the popup more than a few times. So
