Hi Joe, the bof file should be uploaded in to /usr/bof (note with tcpborphserver3 the boffiles are not executable any more, you have to use progdev).
Telnet to the ROACH and run progdev: telnet roach_ip 7147 ?progdev boffile You should get !progdev ok ?listdev should list all your registers type ?help for a list of commands. You can transfer and program the boffile in one move using ?upload port, or just transfer using ?uploadbof port filename. #help upload upload\_and\_program\_a\_(possibly\_compressed)\_boffile\_(?upload\_[port\_[length\_[timeout]]]) #help uploadbof upload\_a\_(possibly\_compressed)\_boffile\_(?uploadbof\_port\_filename\_[length\_[timeout]]) Note the file then needs to be sent across using a separate TCP stream to the specified port (in linux use netcat, not sure what to use in windows but there is probably some netcat client available) Please let me know if you need more info.
