You need to have tcpborphserver3 which is a server designed to control
ROACH2's. tcpborphserver3 requires a kernel with memory mapped device
driver inorder to handle FPGA transactions.

If you have successfully managed to netboot ROACH2, you should be able to
now use katcp interface to talk to the FPGA. The supported list of KATCP
commands can be viewed here:
tcpborphserver3/README<https://github.com/ska-sa/katcp_devel/blob/master/tcpborphserver3/README>

Bof files should be programmed by connecting to the roach2 using telnet and
running progdev:

telnet roach-ip 7147
?progdev boffile

I am in the process of completing a wikipage on "getting started with
ROACH2". You can check it out as soon as its finished.
