Re: [casper] Ubuntu/MATLAB compatibility for ROACH2

2021-03-04 Thread Matheus Furlan Alpoin 

Dear all,

The problem ended up being an alias on our machine, which was pointing 
to another MATLAB license - this one deprived of the toolboxes. After 
finding this out, it seems we were able to run MATLAB and the toolboxes 
properly.


Thanks to Jack and to those who helped off-list,

Hi Matheus,

I've never had a problem with Ubuntu 14 and MATLAB 2013b. In fact I 
sometimes do ROACH2 builds on Ubuntu 16.04 which is also fine. In 
general, almost all of my problems come from Xilinx, not MATLAB.


However, you are absolutely right that MATLAB 2013b seems to only 
support Ubuntu 13.04 (reasonable, I guess, since 2014 hadn't happened 
yet!). I guess my only suggestion, since you're using a VM, would be 
to try Ubuntu 12.04 and see if that helps. If I remember correctly, 
even though most people use Ubuntu these days, the "officially 
supported" OS for ROACH2 compiles was Red Hat (or CentOS) 6, which is 
also an option. This is in the support list of both MATLAB 2013b and 
Xilinx ISE 14.7


Cheers
Jack

Dear all,

We have been facing some issues with our MATLAB installation. After
checking the compatibility matrix on the CASPER "Installing the
Toolflow" website

(https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/Installing-the-Toolflow.html

),

we contacted our software provider to request a MATLAB R2013b
trial license,
together with the needed toolboxes (Signal Processing, DSP System and
Fixed-Point Designer). We are programmng a ROACH2 board.

However, after the installation, we found out that the toolboxes were
not being recognized by MATLAB and asked for support from the same
provider. Following a lengthy conversation, we were told that the
most
likely reason was that MATLAB R2013b was meant to run on Ubuntu
12.04,
12.10 or 13.04, not on Ubuntu 14. Not being an expert when it
comes to
Linux/Ubuntu, I want to ask you if this may be the reason for our
issues. Are we meant to use another version of Ubuntu/MATLAB than
those
shown on the compatibility matrix?

Right now we are using a virtual machine running Ubuntu 14.04.6
LTS on a
Oracle VM VirtualBox, while the host machine runs Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

Best regards,

Matheus
