Please see if there are 2 device files in /dev/roach. config and mem should be there. If they are not there you are running a kernel with an incorrect build option.
If this is the case you can quickly fix it by following steps 3.3 to 3.5 under "Steps to follow" on this wiki page: https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/FPGA_Device_Driver_Memo If you do have those files please telnet into the roach and find the PID of tcpborphserver3 as follows: ps ax then look for: 467 root 0:00 tcpborphserver3 -f -l /dev/null -i /etc/tcpborphserver3.i In this case 467 is the pid. Strace this process: strace -p PID Do not press enter yet, open another telnet session to the roach on port 7147, then press enter. now run ?progdev boffile in the telnet session and send me the strace output. If the file really can't be read you will find a line like this: open("/usr/bof/fubarorso", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) where fubarorso does not exist There might be other reasons, but we should be able to figure it out with strace.
