Dear Casperites, I am trying to set up an NFS boot system to boot the ROACH-2s and program them on a fresh server. I have done this before, but a couple of years back with Ubuntu 12.04 OS (with Xilinx 14.4 and Matlab 2012b for MSSGE flow). Starting this task now I would like to see the possibilities of moving to a newer Ubuntu version (16.04 LTS 18.04 LTS) or any other modern Linux distribution without being stuck to Ubuntu 12.04. I would be much grateful if any experienced personnel would give me some inputs on this regard.
Specific concerns: 1). I understand that Xilinx 14.x and Matlab 2012b are a constraint for doing the compilation for ROACH-2. And I hope the NFS boot setup could go in any of the newer Linux distributions. 2). If I use these newer Ubuntu OSs will there be any restrictions for installing Xilinx 14.4 and Matlab 2012b ion them? 3). We use the ADC16x250-8 cards with ROACH-2s quite often and use the Casper provided python scripts for programming them. I don't think these scripts are OS depended as far as we have the dependencies in the correct versions. But I wanted to know if the OS version will impose any constraints on installing these dependencies...
