Hi Casperites,

I am trying to use the ASIAA ADC chip in a simulink design. To start with
all I have in my design is the chip operating in two channel (A&C mode),
with 1:1 demux on ZDOK 0 with a clock rate of 2 GSps. I just terminated all
outputs of the ADC just for this design. I am using a ROACH2 board in my
design. I get the following error when compiling:

ERROR:LIT:667 - Block 'MMCM_ADV symbol

 
"physical_group_infrastructure_inst/infrastructure_inst/sys_clk_fb_int/infrastructure_inst/infrastructure_inst/MMCM_BASE_sys_clk"'
has its target
   frequency, FVCO, out of range. Valid FVCO range for speed grade "-1" is
   600MHz - 1200MHz. The computed FCVO is a function of the input frequency
   CLKIN1_PERIOD, the division factor DIVCLK_DIVIDE, and the CLKFBOUT_MULT_F
   attribute (FVCO = 1000*CLKFBOUT_MULT_F/(CLKIN1_PERIOD*DIVCLK_DIVIDE)).
The
   CLKIN_PERIOD attribute may have been set by ngdbuild based on the user
   specified PERIOD constraint. The current calculated FVCO is 400.000000
MHz.
   Reference the V6 architecture Users Guide or search the Xilinx Answer
Records
   database for the error code.
Errors found during logical drc.

I am using Matlab R2012b and XSG 14.5.
This is when I am using the SKA mlib-devel branch. Here are the details of
the mlib git branch:

$ git rev-parse --short HEAD
b2d72d4
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/ska-sa/mlib_devel.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/ska-sa/mlib_devel.git (push)


I tried to use the SMA mlib_devel branch instead. Here are the details on
the SMA mlib branch I used:

$ git rev-parse --short HEAD
d4954fd
$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/sma-wideband/mlib_devel.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/sma-wideband/mlib_devel.git (push)

With the SMA mlib devel I am able to compile the simple ASIAA chip design
mentioned above. However, for more complicated designs (I'm trying to put
together a spectrometer with the ASIAA chip) when using FFT modules, the
SMA mlib branch seems to need the Matlab Fixed-Point toolbox, which I don't
have a license for.

I came across  the following thread in the casper mailing lists about the
Fixed Point toolbox:

Anybody have some ideas on what may be causing the MMCM_ADV error seen
above or to circumvent the need for  a FP toolbox license?

Thanks!

Gopal
