Alec, I have limited success when executing a telnet session on the ROACH2 board (from within my telnet session to the ROACH2 board):
/usr/bof # ls casper_test_2013_Aug_21_1251.bof /usr/bof # /usr/bof # telnet 169.254.100.100 7147 #version test-584-g9ebe0bd-dirty #build-state 2012-06-26T09:26:06 #version-connect katcp-library test-584-g9ebe0bd-dirty 2012-06-26T09:26:06 #version-connect katcp-protocol 4.9-M #version-connect kernel 3.4.0-rc3+ #14\_Tue\_May\_29\_17:05:02\_SAST\_2012 ?progdev casper_test_2013_Aug_21_1251.bof #log info 948055636349 raw attempting\_to\_empty\_fpga #log info 948055636349 raw attempting\_to\_program\_casper_test_2013_Aug_21_1251.bof #log error 948055636349 raw unable\_to\_open\_boffile\_./casper_test_2013_Aug_21_1251.bof:\_No\_such\_file\_or\_directory !progdev fail As you can see, the file exists in the /usr/bof directory. -Joe Kujawski PS: I am not sure where to execute kcpcmd, but it does not seem to work in either telnet session.
