Hi Paul I had to try the following from my side:
1. I cloned the repos from casper-astro mlib_devel https://github.com/casper-astro/mlib_devel/tree/devel [devel branch] and https://github.com/casper-astro/tutorials_devel [master branch] 2. I successfully compiled the first tutorial https://github.com/casper-astro/tutorials_devel/tree/master/red_pitaya/tut_intro and programmed the red pitaya - tested all good. 3. I successfully compiled the second tutorial https://github.com/casper-astro/tutorials_devel/tree/master/red_pitaya/tut_adc_dac and programmed the red pitaya - tested all good. 4. I ran the tut_spec.py script at https://github.com/casper-astro/tutorials_devel/tree/master/red_pitaya/tut_spec using the tut_spec.fpg file. No issues. 5. I ran the tut_spec.py script at https://github.com/casper-astro/tutorials_devel/tree/master/red_pitaya/tut_spec using the fpg file that I compiled from tut_spec.slx. No issues. I am using Matlab 2018a and Vivado 2019.1. Can you refine which ones you use particularly eg 2018a or 2018b and 2019.1 or 2019.2. I am not sure about compatibility, though. It seems there is no problem with the design files in the repos. What do you get if you run: casperfga.__version__ Further investigations will follow.
