Re: [casper] Options for reading slow data throughput from ROACH2

Hi Xavier, I don't think there is. There should be! I'll add it to the infinite todo list. Here's a preview, which maybe someone more knowledgable with augment / correct -- You can always send packets from the FPGA without tap_start (which starts the tgtap CPU process). Either you can configure

Re: [casper] Problem in CASPER snap package (raw data acquisition)

2017-06-28 Thread Jack Hickish
Hi Xavier, I believe all the "snap" blocks have been deprecated, in favour of the newer "snapshot" block, which has integration in the software control libraries. If you are having this problem in a collaboration supplied model (it sound like you're doing tut2?) it will be updated in due course

Hi Colin, I don't think many people are supporting windows, though there was an email from a few hours ago -- https://www.mail-archive.com/casper@lists.berkeley.edu/msg06862.html -- which had a link to a windows-friendly repo version. Perhaps this would be useful to you. Jack On Wed, 28 Jun

In regards to the second question I asked in my previous email, I have solved the issue of being able to read the software registers and snapshot blocks. I needed to write the correct values to the software registers after programming in order to properly initialize the design. Thanks, Mark On

Hi, Thank you very much Jack. Is there a documentation regarding the oneGbE and tenGbE packages where those interactions between the Ethernet blocks and the ROACH2 CPU are explained? Just curious, is there any way to send GbE packages without the tap_sart, using the fabric configuration only? I am

Hi Jack, After a little trial and error, this worked for me. I got errors when I left the opb bus the same, and I also tried setting it to opb3, which was not created by an excessive number of yellow blocks. It seems like there has to be a partially full opb bus so it gets created early on in

Hello, There still appears to be an issue with the firmware version loaded onto the Virtex 7. As the image below shows, after a power cycle the SKARAB boots from the "multi-boot" image. However, once the .fpg file is uploaded, the Virtex 7 reverts back to using the toolflow image. Additionally,

Hi Colin, It looks to me like your design is compiling fine (generating the .bit and .bin files), but that there is a issue with the final script that turns the .bin file into the .bof file that we load onto the hardware. Under the model directory, there will be an XPS_ROACH_BASE (or
