Re: [casper] Creating boffiles directory

Hello cockroach3 / $ ls bin dev etc lib mnt proc root sbin sys tmp usr var On the solobooted filesystem, bof files live in /usr/bof When I try to create a boffiles directory, I find that the system does not allow it (soloboot): Yes, / is readonly, /usr is writable. We have

Re: [casper] Creating boffiles directory

Hi Marc, Thanks for the help. I am now able to transfer bof files to /usr/bof. However, the katcp does not find them: ?listbof simply returns ok 0. I'll bet it is looking in /boffiles which does not exist. Is there an easy way around this? Thanks, Rich On 7/3/2013 4:22 AM, Marc Welz

Re: [casper] Creating boffiles directory

Hi It might be useful to try this command In tcpborphserver3 ?upload 3000 !upload ok 3000 Then from a local terminal type gzip -c -9 some-image.bof | nc -w 2 -q 2 localhost 3000 Regards Adam On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 2:24 PM, Rich Lacasse rlaca...@nrao.edu wrote: Hi

Re: [casper] Creating boffiles directory

Hi Adam, I think your work-around will result in a file from the development machine being routed directly into the fpga. Is that right? Does this imply that listbof simply won't work in a soloboot environment? And that I cannot keep files in flash for programming the fpga? Thanks, Rich

Re: [casper] Creating boffiles directory

Hi Rich, Looks as though the implementation has changed, upload bof will try and write a file to /dev/shm/ubf-[pid of of the upload subprocess] AFIK you can use the -b flag of tcpborphserver to set the bof dir u'll need to edit /etc/init.d/tcpborphserver startup script to change that. Regards

Re: [casper] Creating boffiles directory

Hello Second, I have tried ?listbof -b /usr/bof and ?listbof -b/usr/bof (no space) Oh, I didn't explain that properly - it is the tcpborphserver process that accepts commandline parameters (eg tcpborphserver3 -b /usr/bof) But the unusual part is that it seems to be running already, and

Re: [casper] Creating boffiles directory

AFIK you can use the -b flag of tcpborphserver to set the bof dir u'll need to edit /etc/init.d/tcpborphserver startup script to change that. Confirmed -b will work, but for solobooted roaches the startup file is /etc/rc.tcpborphserver3 regards marc
