[casper] Help to program BRAM blocks.

2021-10-19 Thread Heystek Grobler
Good day everyone. I was hoping that someone can perhaps help me or can point me in the right direction. I want to write sine and cosine waves to BRAM blocks in order to implement a local oscillator. I have a basic idea of how to do this by making use of a struct that needs to be packed, but in

Hey Jack. Should I then try to get a SysGen/ModelComposer license for 2021.1 or is there a way to still use Vivado 2020.06 with the RFSoC? Thank you for the help! Heystek - Heystek Grobler 0832721009 heystekgrob...@gmail.com

Hey Mitch. Thank you for the reply. The Python version that my system is returning is 3.7.13. Should I rather use Python 3.8? I have noticed that matlab2021a does not support python3.9. Thank you - Heystek Grobler 0832721009
