Re: [casper] System Compatibility

2015-07-02 Thread Vishwa Seneviratne
Hi,

Update
It is possible to install Xilinx ISE 14.7 and MSSGE Toolflow set RHEL 7.
The only doubt I have is on the USB cable drivers. Not sure if the drivers
got installed successfully. Will have to test and see if they are working
fine too.

Thank you
Regards,
Vishwa

Hi Vishwa,

To add to what Danny said, while there will never be a Vivado flow for
ROACH1/ROACH2, I've been using a vivado-based flow for the SNAP board,
which is a kintex-7 platform. Some very limited information about how to
obtain and run the flow, aimed at our local (in berkeley) SNAP users is
available at https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/SNAP_Bringup

Cheers,
Jack

Re: [casper] System Compatibility

2015-07-01 Thread Danny Price
Hi Vishwa


As far as I’m aware, Vivado does not support Virtex 5 or 6, so can’t be used 
for ROACH1 or ROACH2 designs.


The Xilinx + Matlab stack is hard enough to get working on officially 
sanctioned distribution, so using RHEL7 will probably just give you stability 
issues and installation woes. For a compilation machine, stability is *by far* 
more important than having a newer OS.


That said, I’m guessing that RHEL7 would probably work fine, and that the 
install process would essentially be the same. Only one way to find out…


Regards
Danny

Hi,

Has anyone tried installing Xilinx ISE 14.7 in RHEL 7? Is there a way to do
so?

Also, I wonder if Casper roach developers have plans to come up with a
MSSGE toolflow set that support Vivado Design suite in near future since,
Xilinx has discontinued developing Xilinx ISE.

Very respectfully,

Thank you all for your support.

After hearing from you, I decided to change my OS to Red Hat Workstation 6. 
Unfortunately, the bugs persisted.
When I try to launch the System Generator on Simulink I receive this 
message:--> Error Evaluating 'OpenFcn' callback of Xilinx System Generator 
Block block (mask) 'untitled/ System Generator'. --Undefined variable "com" or 
class "com.xilinx.sysgen.util.StrategyUtil.loadAllStrategyNames".
Additionally, when I type sysgen at the terminal, I get this message:[   INFO   
] XILINX_DSP environment variable does NOT coincide with $XILINX. Resetting...
/opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/ISE/sysgen/util/sysgen: line 1176: matlab: command not

How should I proceed at this point?
I appreciate your attention,Victor Cardoso.

Hi Victor,

A list of supported operating systems is here on page 7:

http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx14_5/irn.pdf

If you need free, a much safer alternative to Ubuntu (but still
unsupported) is CentOS 6.5, which is built from RHEL6 source packages.

Hi Victor,

I strongly recommend using Xilinx's 14.7 release. Some people use Ubuntu
12.04 -- see
https://casper.berkeley.edu/wiki/MSSGE_Setup_with_Xilinx_14.x_and_Matlab_2012b
-- but as Dan says, life might be easier with a supported operating
system...

Cheers,
Jack

Re: [casper] System Compatibility

2015-06-23 Thread Dan Werthimer
hi victor,

i urge people to only use operating systems supported by xilinx:
i think right now, that means
windows7 pro, redhat enterprise linux 5 or 6, or suse enterprise linux.

several casperites have tried to use non-supported linux operating systems
for casper work.
sometimes this can work fine for particular appliciations, sometimes it
doesn't work.

xilinx will not provide any support or answer any questions if you use a
non-supported operating system. and we've seen be subtle bugs
without any reported error messages with a non-supported operating system.
one time we found the casper FFT didn't work for sizes over 2^13 points -
there was no
error message - it just computed the FFT incorrectly on the FPGA - the
simulation
worked fine...  when we switched to redhat, the problem went away...

best wishes,

dan

[casper] System Compatibility

2015-06-23 Thread Victor Cardoso
Greetings,

I am working with the ROACH 2 in order to implement the 
MUSIC project. I am having a lot of troubles to compile the Tutorial 1 
(Introduction to Simulink) 
due to mismatch between Xilinx ISE 14.5 and my Operating System, Ubuntu 
10.04.
I would like to know if it's possible to run this example 
using Ubuntu. Otherwise, I can install Redhat Enterprise Linux 6.3, 
Matlab 12b and Xilinx 14.5 to run the codes.

I look forward hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Victor Cardoso.
