Hi Amit, I think I will need more detailed information in order to assist. First some questions: 1) In terms of "deprogrammed", do you mean each time you connect to the SKARAB using "casperfpga.Casperfpga("skarab"), the Virtex 7 FPGA reconfigures to the Multi-boot image or is it the Golden image?

Hi Amit, I am assuming you are compiling a CASPER toolflow image and that you are able to program the CASPER toolflow image on the SKARAB via the 1GbE? If so, then your MTU sizes are fine and then it should work for the 40GbE as well You should have the following versions for the SKA-SA BSP as sh

Hi Adam, Thanks for the updates. I have one issue with casperfpga tools. After I changed the golden and boot images as well as Spartan fpga firmware (from https://github.com/ska-sa/skarab_bsp_images) to support CASPER toolflow (https://github.com/ska-sa/mlib_devel), I am able to compile and progr

Hi Amit, Yes, I can confirm that no porting has been done regarding the SKARAB ADC here at SKA-SA. We are planning on holding a yellow block creation workshop here at SKA some time later this year - date TBC. The user can bring their hardware with firmware and get it running during the workshop.

Hello Amit Thanks, and Happy New Year to you too! I am fairly certain that no one has started porting the SKARAB ADC firmware into a CASPER "yellow block" just yet. I would be happy to support you on this. I don't see any limitations due to the new ADC interface. The Peralex-supplied JESD receiv

Hi Clifford, Happy New Year! Thanks a lot for the BSP Package. I am going through the documentation now and have one SKARAB with casper firmware and one with Peralex. I would be interested to develop a Casper "yellow block" for SKARAB since most of our development is using CASPER toolflow. Do yo

Hi Wes, Thanks a lot for the info! I now have an IP address for the SKARABs and can access it via casperfpga. Can you provide details on how to change the firmware to CASPER using casperfpga ? Do I also need to update the SPARTAN firmware ? Happy New Year! Regards, Amit On 21-Dec-17 3:48 PM,

Hi Amit, There is currently not firmware that supports static IP, this could be changed with a few small modifications to the microblaze code and a recompile of the microblaze, but I would recommend using DHCP where at all possible. It should be an easy process to setup a DHCP server on your lapto

Hi Amit Your Skarab would have been shipped with a firmware that supports DHCP on all GbE interfaces and bootloading over 1GbE (only). It includes support for the ADC mezzanine. You will probably need to use the Peralex BSP tools to access and boot the Skarab over 1GbE, rather than the CASPER tool

Dear All, I am trying to boot SKARAB and the it gets stuck at "ARP ENTRY ID:0 IP:". Is there any way to force a static ip address or boot via 1GbE interface as well ? Many Thanks! Regards, Amit -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "casper@lists.berk
