Hi Glenn, You probably already fixed up your ibobs XAUI connectors, but if not you might want to check out http://casper.berkeley.edu/papers/Science_Safety_001.pdf Although I donĀ¹t know why a problem caused by this would only manifest itself when OOB data is sent. Regards, Andrew On 8/19/08

Please do not check the full implementation and BEE_XPS_base directories into the CASPER SVN for your projects. You should not need to check in more than the .mdl and .bit or .bof files. It creates a bloated repository full of unnecessary files that nobody will use. If you are concerned a

[casper] XAUI Slippage

2008-08-19 Thread G Jones
Hello, I think I am seeing some strange XAUI slippage related to the OOB signal when sending data from an iBOB to a BEE2. It sounds similar to an effect that was seen at Green Bank. My iBOB is set up to send 64 bits of data on both XAUIs every other clock with the FPGA clocked at 250 MHz, so the da

I checked the permissions, and they seem fine, I can manually copy the file. Perhaps it has to do with cygwin/xygwin somehow? On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 1:03 PM, John Ford wrote: > >> > >> Running generate for OS'es, Drivers and Libraries ... > >> Running generate for lwIP library ... > >> Generati

This is my first question to the general list---please be gentle ;) We have been doing iBOB<->iBOB and iBOB<->BEE2 fast serial communications using cables made by Fujitsu. Typically we keep the cable lengths quite short, a typical Fujitsu part number for a 1 m cable is FCD-ZZ00016, it's s

Sorry, I just noticed it is referenced in the mss file which is getting added by the gen_mss.m function from @xps_lwip. Looking back at version 7.1 I see that this has been the case since then. Is it that the hardware version is 1.01.a but the driver is version 2.00.a? Thanks, Glenn On Tue, Aug 19

(Replying to the list for the benefit of everyone once the archive is created.) I copied the previous version over, and everything went smoothly up until the CopyFiles part for generating the drivers. It seems to still be copying the 2.00.a drivers for some reason. I can't find the reference to th

Hey Andrew Terry, Mark and I were actually chatting about this yesterday. I think this might be due to the use of the reconfigurable blocks (like "delay"), which lets you select different blocks (between delay_slr and delay_bram, for example). The problem seems to be when the mask changes

Hi all Terry mentioned this problem a while back and it keeps popping up. Not sure if anyone has any ideas. Basically, while opening a design or simulating, the following error will occasionally occur. Warning: casper_library.mdl, line 18706: Invalid setting in SubSystem 'casper_library/Correlat
