Hi all, I'm trying to determine how I would go about finding/using the addresses of the memory mapped registers being used by the FPGA, from the PS side of the Red Pitaya. For example, in the spectrometer tutorial, there are several registers used to control the design, and others to pull data out from the design. If I access the Red Pitaya from my computer using the casperfpga.py module, these registers are all conveniently named and the python module has tools to read data from snap blocks, write to the reset and trigger registers, etc.
Is there a convenient way to have this same level of control on the red pitaya itself? I would like to write code that runs on the PS to monitor these registers and handle the data output. From what I can currently find, I will need to open the /dev/mem file and use the mmap() command. But how do I find out which physical register corresponds to which simulink block? And I assume that even a minor update to the simulink design could result in the registers being moved around, so what is a good way to account for this? Currently, I am trying to trace what happens when I call casperfpga commands from my computer. I understand the parsing of the commands and the hand off to tcpborphserver, but I can't seem to unravel what is happening when the red pitaya receives these commands. I'm assuming this code is somewhere in the katcp library (https://github.com/ska-sa/katcp)? Hopefully someone knows of a good resource to fill in my knowledge gaps. Thanks!
