Hi Aniket. As James has said, if you have been making various telnet connections to your Roach2 before running the script it might be worth just rebooting the board before trying the casperFPGA scripts. The tcpborphserver may have crashed due to receiving some commands it didn't like. Kind

Hello Aniket, I'm puzzled by your problem, but I have no experience using a ROACH2. Perhaps the authors of the casperfpga module will be able to give further debugging suggestions. Regards, James On Wed, Sep 2, 2015 at 12:40 PM, aniket wrote: > On 2015-09-02

Hi Jack, Thanks for your suggestions! It’s taken me a little while to work through it all. I did manage to get a 2-pol, 32k channel design to compile eventually. I think it was a combination of a) sufficient latency in the Vacc and PFB blocks (as you suggest) and b) splitting the two pols

Afternoon Aniket If you can telnet to the katcp interface on the ROACH2 then casperfpga should work. Two things to bear in mind: 1. You only really benefit from using casperfpga if you're using .fpg files (.bof + design info) from the toolflow, not .bofs. The SKA SA mlib_devel produces fpgs, I'm

Hi All, Has anyone created something that logs / plots the sensor values? If not, I suppose I could log my telnet session and parse that file. Brad Dober Ph.D. Candidate Department of Physics and Astronomy University of Pennsylvania Cell: 262-949-4668 On Thu, May 16, 2013 at 10:23 AM, Marc
