Good Day All, I am writing to provide a heads-up with regards to the clean up of the toolflow.
The idea is to remove support for the older hardware platforms (iBOB, BEE2 and CORR) as they are no longer supported by Xilinx tools after 10. We will provide a tag to the version of the tools which supports the older hardware. We will also be updating the names of things such as environment variables and scripts, to remove references to the legacy hardware. Here is a list of things that I have changed in the clean_up branch of the SKA MLIB_DEVEL <https://github.com/ska-sa/mlib_devel/tree/clean_up>repository. This will be migrated to the master branch when it has all been tested. Removing iBOB, BEE2 and CORR related code from the scripts Removing the following yellow blocks: XAUI - Only supported by BEE2 and iBOB CORR_mxfe - Only supported by CORR CORR_fr - Only supported by CORR CORR_adc - Only supported by CORR CORR_dac - Only supported by CORR iBOB_lwip - Only supported by iBOB frame_buffer - Only supported by iBOB vsi - Only supported by iBOB dac_iBOB - Only supported by iBOB sram - Only supported by iBOB Editing the following yellow blocks: XSG core config - Removed iBOB, BEE2 and CORR options GPIOs - Removed iBOB, BEE2 and CORR options DRAM - removed support for multiple DIMMs as this is only supported by the iBOB The folder xps_lib is changing to xps_base, as it contains the base support packages for each of the supported hardware platforms Changing bee_xps to casper_xps, ie to run the former "bee_xps" now use "casper_xps" BEE_XPS_Blockset changing to CASPER XPS Blockset The environment variable BEE_XPS_LIB_PATH is changing to XPS_BASE_PATH, this will mean a change to your matlab startsg scripts Change the name of bee_hw_routes.m to hw_routes.m Removing the GAVRT library. If you can want anything to remain or can think of anything else that can go, please let me know, I welcome any comments and ideas. Regards Wes
