Also the latest versions has kcpcmd built in. You can telnet to port 23 and then run "kcpcmd command" e.g.
# kcpcmd progdev boffile Note no need for the ?, also this is just a utility that talks to tcpborphserver3 which is listening on port 7147 (which is the port you telnet to to run katcp commands). So this still expects the file in /usr/bof On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 3:26 PM, Alec Rust <[email protected]> wrote: > You have to run progdev in the telnet session. > > telnet roach_ip 7147 > then > ?help for a list of commands > ?progdev boffile > > Lemme know if that works. > > > On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 3:24 PM, Kujawski, Joseph <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Alec, >> >> progdev does not exist on my ROACH2 when booted with soloboot: >> >> /usr/bof # wget http://169.254.241.40/casper_test_2013_Aug_21_1251.bof >> Connecting to 169.254.241.40 (169.254.241.40:80) >> casper_test_2013_Aug 100% >> |**********************************************************************************************************| >> 19131k 0:00:00 ETA >> /usr/bof # progdev casper_test_2013_Aug_21_1251.bof >> -sh: progdev: not found >> /usr/bof # >> >> Do you have any other suggestions? >> >> -Joe Kujawski >> >> >> On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 9:19 AM, Alec Rust <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> 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. >>> >>> Regards >>> Alec >>> >>> >>> On Fri, Sep 6, 2013 at 1:25 AM, Kujawski, Joseph <[email protected]>wrote: >>> >>>> Laura, >>>> >>>> I am not using KATCP as the instruction set that I have access to does >>>> not explain how to use it.
