Hi Jeff and everyone, While we are hacking Jeff's thread (apologies, but this will be useful info), please note that our toolflow only supports the following Red Pitaya devices: STEMlab125-10 (10 bit ADC and DAC) and STEMlab125-14 (14 bit ADC and DAC). There are another three Red Pitaya boards that we don't support yet - check out:
1) CASPER Hardware: https://github.com/casper-astro/casper-hardware#casper-hardware 2) Red Pitaya Hardware comparison: https://redpitaya.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developerGuide/125-10/vs.html We encourage anyone who would like to add these boards to the toolflow and we are happy to support you in the process. I highly recommend attending the Hardware Porting Workshops that explain how to use the toolflow for development and target new hardware. The next Hardware Porting Workshop is likely to be next year, but an email will be sent out with these details once defined. Just a reminder of our CASPER conference that is taking place the week of the 17th May via Zoom and is completely free! If interested please check out: https://casper.berkeley.edu/index.php/meetings-workshops/ Sorry for the additional advertising! ;) Kind regards, Adam Isaacson South African Radio Astronomy Observatory (SARAO) Hardware Manager Cell: (+27) 825639602 Tel: (+27) 215067300 email: [email protected] On Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 8:02 AM Morag Brown <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > To add to Amish's info, for ease of access, the design files for said > projects can be found here > <https://github.com/casper-astro/tutorials_devel/tree/master/red_pitaya>. > > Morag > > (Sorry Jeffrey!) > > On Wed, Apr 14, 2021 at 7:55 AM Amish Patel <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Xin chào, Hien, >> >> CASPER's Tutorials >> <https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/projects/tutorials/en/latest/> have >> three small projects that use the Red Pitaya with the CASPER toolflow. >> First, you will need to do some general setup >> <https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/projects/tutorials/en/latest/tutorials/redpitaya/red_pitaya_setup.html> >> for >> the Red Pitaya, and (if necessary) install casperfpga on a machine you plan >> on using to interface with it. >> >> Please do let us know if this is what you are looking for, and/or if you >> have any questions once you're working through it. >> >> Regards >> >> Amish Patel >> SARAO >> >> (Apologies to Jeffrey for hijacking your thread!) >> >> >> On Wed, 14 Apr 2021 at 04:20, Hien Vo Bich <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Greeting >>> Can any one point out the link to some small projects that use the Red >>> Pitya board with the CASPER flow ? >>> Regards >>> Hien Vo >>> Vietnamese German University >>> >>> On Tue, Apr 13, 2021 at 9:59 PM Adam Isaacson <[email protected]> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> Hi Jeff, >>>> >>>> The toolflow is normally used with a Python virtual environment setup >>>> with Python 3.
