As someone that has been using the 10.1 tools for almost two years, I can confirm that they never worked for BEE2s. It would be great if they did, so 7.1 can finally be mothballed forever. Laura On Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 7:24 PM, David MacMahon wrote: > > On Jun 21, 2010, at 14:54 , melvyn wright

I think the mkbof header might have changed somewhere along the line for ROACH/10.1. Have you tried the old mkbof from the 7.1 flow on the 10.1 flow? Jason On 20 Jun 2010, at 08:01, David MacMahon wrote: On Jun 19, 2010, at 15:56 , John Ford wrote: Hi, John, Did you ever get any replie

Hi David, Yes, my emails are relating to building a BORPH enabled Linux kernel for BEE2 but it is due to problem with reading registers. I have run into the same problems as in this thread. It is impossible to read or write registers from user FPGA compiled with 10.1 tool chain, and control FPGA co

Thanks, Dan, I think this relates to building a BORPH enabled Linux kernel 2.6 for BEE2 using the 10.1 toolflow. I don't think it has any bearing on building a BEE2 user fpga design using the 10.1 tools, but if it does then it seems to imply that BEE2 development needs to stay on the 7.1
