[casper] Problem in FFT initialisation: coeff_gen_init Library must be saved before creating new library links

2015-03-27 Thread Charles Copley
Hi all,

If I put a new FFT into the design, I encounter a problem running the
initialisation script with the error message below:

Simulink:Commands:AddBlockUnsavedLibrary: Library must be saved before
creating new library links
Backtrace 1: reuse_block:51
Backtrace 2: coeff_gen_init:410
Backtrace 3: ToggleModelParamAndUpdateCB:486


I see Glen had a similar issue on 8 November 2013, but the final solution
wasn't posted to the mail archive.

I've stepped through the code, and it appears to come from line 51 in
reuse_block.m

add_block(refblk, [blk, '/',name], .

Are there any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?

Thanks,

Re: [casper] Roach 2 telnetd

2015-03-27 Thread Brad Dober
I'm no expert, but if you're running soloboot, once the roach2 has gotten
served an IP address, you should be able to just telnet in on port 7147.
There shouldn't need to be any changes.

Also, for ROACH2 ssh only works on netboot, but the NFS filesystem isn't
well developed / maintained. SSH shouldn't be super necessary.

 When I do a ps -a, no telnet is listed...
 Also I cannot telnet to it.
 I can ping the roach, as I set it up with
 ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.68

 I connect a linux box to the PPC ethernet, and I can ping from roach to
 linux, and linuix to roach.

 Not sure how to get telnet to work...

 Any ideas?

 ON our roach 1, we use ssh, and run sshd on it. Can roach2 run sshd?

[casper] Netfpga

2015-03-27 Thread Jack Hickish
Hi all,

Today I had a fun meeting with Andrew Moore at Cambridge university, who
does some great stuff as part of netfpga (netfpga.org). By the end of it, I
wanted some new toys, namely their latest virtex 7 board -
https://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,719,1327Prod=NETFPGA-10G-SUME

It's got a wild academic price of 1700 USD, loads of 13gb transceivers and
dsps and whilst it's not in a particularly caspery form factor, I wonder if
anyone has any compelling use case for the board. Netfpga have their own
design flow,but it would be very possible to support the board in casper
flow too.
Is anyone interested in this board? Perhaps for use with the Hittite 26gs
ADC -

or as a correlator/beamformer back end?

Basically, I'm looking for an excuse to buy one. Please, help me out :)
