[casper] chipScope on the roach2

I used the technique outlined here to track the java heap memory usage: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/95990 It peaks at 190 MB then proceeds to see-saw between 40 and 190 MB, so java heap memory is not an issue. Neither is RAM in general. This isn't a resource constraint issue.

You can run this script https://github.com/ska-sa/roach2_support_software/blob/master/ftdi/scripts/release_jtag_port.py You will need python and the ftdi libraries. Wesley New South African SKA Project +2721 506 7365 www.ska.ac.za On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 7:49 AM, Wesley New wes...@ska.ac.za
