Laura, I am not using KATCP as the instruction set that I have access to does not explain how to use it. Do you have a link to some 'using KATCP' instructions that I can follow?
My question is simply this: Given that I have a .bof file on my PC, how do I program the FPGA on the ROACH2 system to execute the program? I already know that: 1) The ROACH2 boots into soloboot. 2) I can physically connect to the ROACH2 (i.e. I have the proper hardware in place). 3) I can Telnet into the ROACH2 (i.e. the proper software is in place on both my Windows machine and the ROACH2). 4) I have a valid .bof file on the Windows machine. 5) I can transfer this file to the ROACH2. -Joe Kujawski On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 6:47 PM, Laura Vertatschitsch <[email protected]>wrote: > hey joe, > > how far did you get with KATCP and progdev? > > is your question perhaps about using the uploadbof command (mail list > archive<http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03726.html> > )? > > --Laura > > > On Thu, Sep 5, 2013 at 11:21 PM, Kujawski, Joseph <[email protected]>wrote: > >> I have a ROACH2 that is in the following configuration: >> >> 1) My external computer is a Windows 7 (64 bit) computer. >> 2) The Windows machine is connected to the ROACH2 via a direct cable >> connection from the PC to the PPC ethernet port on the ROACH2. >> 3) I am able to telnet into the ROACH2 and transfer files from the PC to >> the ROACH2. >> >> According to the instructions on the CASPER website, I should be able to >> program the system by executing the .bof file, however, this does not work. >> One individual associated with the project has indicated that the ROACH2 >> cannot be executed and instead needs to be programmed via KATCP's "progdev" >> command.
