OK, I figured out I didn't have ghdl installed. Ghdl now has to be installed from source. I'm tempted to just use the bitstream without running it through ghdl, as the ghdl installation isn't going so good. As far as I can see ghdl is just a simulator. How essential are the ghdl steps in the pin.py script?
Thanks again, -- Ralph ________________________________________ From: Ralph Stirling Sent: Friday, February 07, 2014 10:19 AM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Subject: RE: [Emc-users] Stripped down TPEN4_5 firmware I just realized I did successfully build a custom bitstream a couple of years ago (ST12), and reran make in that directory, with a successful outcome. So, with newly bolstered courage, I downloaded the current git snapshot, edited firmwares.txt to just compile the SVTP4_7I39, and almost had success. It made it through bitstream generation, but exited the first call to ghdl in pin.py with a 127 error. Is my bitstream good or bad? I may still take you up on your kind offer, Peter...
