As you say, NFS mounts work correctly which would indicate that the network is operating as expected. WRT other errors, are you certain that all reads/writes on FPGA are on 32-bit boundaries? Byte-sized and 16-bit reads are supposed to work, but we have found that for some reason they

Hello Suraj Thanks for you explanation. Maybe I don't describe clearly. I mean if I want program the FPAG on ROACH over JTAG. Also, the bit file is generated by Xilinx ISE not CASPER toolflow. In this moment, the ucf file of my design is only included the IO pins of my design. But a lot of

Also, make sure you're running newwer versions of uboot and the CPLD image. Bus settings changed some months back and improved stability significantly. Uboot will report the versions, and I recommend: U-Boot 2008.10-svn2226 (Aug 7 2009 - 16:06:44) ... Monitor Revision: 8.3.1698 CPLD

If you already have a bitstream, simply plug a JTAG programmer into P2 (labelled Xilinx JTAG), and use IMPACT. But if I read your email correctly, you haven't configured clocks or anything so I'm not sure what the point of this exercise is. I agree with Suraj, easiest would be to start

[casper] 10.1 designs on BEE2

2009-11-04 Thread Jack Hickish
Hi all, I'm trying to retire an old 7.1 virtual machine to the digital grave that it deserves. I ported a BEE2 design to 10.1, and successfully compiled the relevant bof files for the BEE. Unfortunately, when I run the boffile, the BEE hangs. If I run the process in the background, I can see the

Hi Jason, Thanks for your pointers; I am currently not actually using the FPGA. Just focusing on being able to talk to the powerpc reliably at the moment. The system does also crash when using NFS, but as I said and you noted; it is more difficult to trace them directly back to EMACS related

Hi Jason, Hi all. I think it would be very cool if someone who knows could make a wiki page to tell us what the suggested set of cpld/uboot/linux codes are, and if the suggested versions are different for different purposes. There's getting to be quite a few choices in the archive. We are

Hi Jason: Thanks for you help. But I could not find the tut4 in workshop. Could you please provide me the exact link? Thanks. As I know, the KATCP only provide data in ASCII. Is this right? And for KATCP, all command and data are transferred by network. But we expeirence some network failure

Hi Jason: I guess the latest CPLD is quite important for us. But for Uboot, I am not sure. Will all PPC registers be re-initialized again in the linux core? Or the linux core use default value initialized by Uboot? Will Uboot load OS into Dram before set the program pointer to the OS start

[casper] xlUpdateModel

2009-11-04 Thread John Ford
Hi all. I'm trying to port a rather complex model to 10.1, and I had hoped that xlUpdateModel would allow me to do it rather easily, but when I run it Matlab crashes. It seems to choke on the gavrt library's vacc module. Has anyone gotten this to work, or should I forget it and just redraw the

Re: [casper] xlUpdateModel

2009-11-04 Thread G Jones
John, I think the shortcomings of xlUpdateModel are what made the transition from 7.1 to 10.1 so painful. Dynamically drawn blocks like the vacc will not be handled correctly in general. Therefore, I think it will be much easier and reliable to simply redraw the diagram block for block in 10.1.
