Hi Adam,

I am sorry but I missed your reply too.

The reason for us to experiment with different versions was to get RFSoC 
(specifically ZCU111) stuff working (by following the documentation in 
https://github.com/casper-astro/tutorials_devel/blob/master/docs/tutorials/rfsoc/tut_getting_started.md
 ). If I understand correctly, the original toolflow in the casper repo does 
not (yet) support RFSoC's?

We will now try to get the Ubuntu 20.04 based versions working, thanks Mitch, 
because Ubuntu 20.04 will be supported longer (perhaps until my retirement 
;-)). I still have the 18.04 container so I could try out your repo too.

I think one of the main problems is that after one group gets everything 
working, there will be Python package upgrades that later installers get 
(without intention) and suddenly the toolflow is not working anymore. I think 
it would be very useful if the versions of all Python packages of a working 
setup would be listed in the documentation.

Many thanks to all who support and develop the Casper toolchain, it certainly 
is not an easy task!

Best regards,
Kaj

Hi Casperites,

I hope you are well. I have been reading the mail list and there are lots of 
queries about which version of Ubuntu, Python, Matlab and Simulink.

We have documented this quite well on our Casper website, but I have noticed 
that some people try it on Windows, different versions and expect it to work 
first time around.

My honest opinion is that the odds of this working would be slight. My advice 
is to rather stick to the mentioned versions, as those have been tested. You 
are welcome to try new versions, but my feeling is that it mostly won't work. 
My advice is to stick to the software versions.

SARAO and CASPER spend a lot of time testing with specific versions. We then 
move onto other projects and move onto newer software versions. This is more 
efficient in my opinion. If there is a major bug then we upgrade.

Kind regards,

Adam
