[casper] ska-sa CASPER Bitgen fails within gen_xps_files but not the shell

[Daniel Klopp]

I recently installed Xilinx 14.4, MATLAB 2012b on Red Hat 6, and checked out the latest ska-sa toolset. I followed the instructions available at https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/MSSGE_Setup_with_Xilinx_14.4_and_Matlab_2012b and copied the pcores from the aforementioned web page. I built tutorial 1 per the instructions at https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/Tutorials as the given model files were incompatible with ska-sa and / or the latest toolset. Attached to this email is the local start up script for CASPER.

Error using gen_xps_files (line 647)
XPS failed.




>> status = system(['xps -nw -scr run_xps.tcl system.xmp']);
>> status

status =

     2

>>



xps -nw -scr run_xps.tcl system.xmp



Any suggestions?  I'm at a loss,

At this point, it is possible to simulate tutorial one within Simulink, and casper_xps succeeds at all steps except for the final "EDK/ISE/Bitgen" step. At that point an error is reported: Warning: File '/a/tut1_x144/XPS_ROACH_base/implementation/system.bit' not found. In @(hObject,eventdata)casper_xps('run_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)) Warning: File '/a/tut1_x144/XPS_ROACH_base/implementation/download.bit' not found. In @(hObject,eventdata)casper_xps('run_Callback',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject)) I took apart the gen_xps_files script and was able to run up to the 'xps' command at line 644 of gen_xps_files.m. Therein the script failed with an error status of 2. Next, I tried running the xps command from the command line (located at line 644 in gen_xps_files.m). I first commented out the 'sysgen' line in 'start.sh' (attached to this email), then sourced 'start.sh'. From my shell I then ran the command: After a few minutes it generated the files. I have not tested if the files could be successfully uploaded to the board.
