Hm, I have never heard about PRP cloud, what is that?
I went to the web address and got to login without any further information.
If this is a service that is open for all, why it is not documented? If it is
not open for all, why even write about it to a public mailing list??
I am sorry but I start to be quite frustrated after months of wasted time trying
to get Casper RFSoC toolchain to work and testing several paths that prove to be
dead ends. I am now very close to give up and move to other projects (sorry
Talvikki).
Respectfully,
Kaj

As a quick reminder to all, don't forget that the PRP cloud version of CASPER
exists these days as well! (Login here: https://casper.nautilus.optiputer.net/
<https://casper.nautilus.optiputer.net/>).
In addition to the normal toolflow, Vivado 2020.1 is now installed (I know that
2020.2 is recommended for RFSoC, but 2020.1 should work as well: use the
m2019a-cloud branch rather than m2019a, this has the downgraded tcl files so
they run in 2020.1).
For RFSoC work, use the startsg.cloud.2020.local file instead of
startsg.cloud.local.
You will also at this point not be able to use the Vitis backend side of things
(leave the JASPER_BACKEND as Vivado). I will look into installing Vitis.
I ran some tests this morning, and was able to compile an fpg for a ZCU111.
(zcu111_tut_platform).
If you use the PRP cloud, I also encourage you to join the CASPER slack (if you
have not already), and post questions / problems on the #prp-cloud channel. -
Please just let me know if you need an invite.
Best,
Jonathon

Hi Kaj and Wesley,
You are both right. The Python upgrades have proved a problem and it would
help to list it in the documents.
The requirements.txt can be too general though using versions "<" or ">".
RFSOC is a new development, so I understand there could be bugs. I was more
referring to the older developments. My email was not aimed at anyone
particular :). I learnt my lesson over the years (or maybe I didn't) and
with SKARAB.
Kind regards,
Adam

Hi Kaj,
There is generally a requirements.txt in the root of the mlib_devel
which should list any python dependencies and appropriate versions. I am
not sure how well this is kept uptodate though.

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
<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
