hi shilpa, glen, and casper collaborators
i'm forwarding your roach questions to [email protected]
(roach collaborators - please see email chain appended below -
can you help shilpa and glen?)
in general if anyone has hardware, software, tools, or library problems,
it's best to send out your query to casper-lists,
rather than one person or a few people, because then the questions
and answers get captured for all of us to see on the wiki,
and there are several experts who can hopefully answer your questions.
best wishes,
dan

The system doesn't do anything after this. Do you have any suggestion
about this?
Thank you,

Thanks Dan,
We'd like to start working with the roach boards
and have been slowed down by some minor annoyances.
We happen to have at had the micro-cruser USB
drives, but there may be some trouble with this
"U3 software" that seems to be auto installed
every time we prepare to copy a file to
the USB drive. We get error messages
about failure to find appropriate files
and then the ROACH boot sequence
halts.
Shilpa, could you send them the messages we
get when following the instructions?
Thanks
Glen
glen,
i'm ccing jason on this,
as he has been giving a lot of
help to roach users.
best,
dan

Hi Henry
Could we schedule a VNC session to look into our Roach
board status? We've tried all the steps in the
documentation and are consistently getting error messages.
It really seems like we should have been sent a USB
drive with the proper files, as this has taken several
of us a couple days effort, to do a trivial task.
Thanks
Glen
Hi Glen,
There are 2 different kinds of removable flash that can be used
by ROACH during the test procedure. One is the MMC/SD card at
J17, and the other is a USB flash drive. Both have been tested
at Digicom before the boards were shipped, but neither are
shipped with the system.
The MMC/SD card will potentially be used as a storage filesystem
for BORPH Linux. The test suite will make sure that the interface
to this socket works during the test procedure, but does not rely
on it.
The USB key can also be used as a general storage filesystem under
Linux, as any USB memory would be used. However, the FPGA test
bitstream is expected to be on a USB key during the test suite.
If you're attempting to run through the test procedure for yourselves,
you just need to go get a copy of the test bitstream, available at:
http://casper.ssl.berkeley.edu/svn/trunk/roach/production/test_software/roach_testing/gen_files/fpga/roach_bsp_4_0_0.bin
rename it to roach_bsp.bin, and put it on any run-of-the-mill USB
flash
drive that is formatted with FAT32.
Thanks,
Henry

Hi Henry
We've received 3 roach boards and are following the initial
tests described on your web site. The web site
calls for us to do something with a flash drive (chip)
However we did not get a flash drive. Do we
still need a flash drive to test out the roach boards?
Thanks
Glen
Hi Glen,
Terry said that you've received your ROACH board but have a
problem with it? Can you clarify?
Thanks,
Henry
