Re: [casper] (Red Pitaya 125-14) RuntimeError: no programming informs yet. Odd?

[Adam Isaacson]

Hi Lukas,

Alexander Raymond from CfA remembers we may have had the same issue in
Boston last year. Thanks, Alex! He suggests the following:

"Adding 127.0.0.1 localhost to /etc/hosts worked for us in getting past the
"*no programming informs yet. Odd?* “ error."

Let us know how you progress.

Re: [casper] Solar Spectrometer Channeliser

Hi All,

Thanks everyone for all the excellent advice!
I think we are going to try the 14-bit Red Pitatya for this, and just work
to the highest frequencies that we can achieve with the ADCs in the Nyquist
limit (namely 62 MHz).
I might eventually have a go at interleaving the two ADC channels to double
the sampling.

I'll update CASPER with any interesting results from this in the future.

Best wishes,
Colm

Re: [casper] (Red Pitaya 125-14) RuntimeError: no programming informs yet. Odd?

[Adam Isaacson]

Hi Lukas,

1) Did you install casperfpga using the following exactly (ReadMe.md
"installation" section): https://github.com/casper-astro/casperfpga?

2) What casperfpga version are you using? Type "casperfpga.__version__"
after you import casperfpga.

3) You are sure tcpborphserver is running? if it is not running then
casperfpga will not work. Refer to:
 
https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/projects/tutorials/en/latest/tutorials/redpitaya/red_pitaya_setup.html
