Discussion and technical support related to USRP, UHD, RFNoC
View all threadsHi folks,
Has someone of you loaded the whole usrp_x310_fpga_RFNOC_HG design into Vivado 2015.4 and created the FPGA image using its graphical Interface? I am still unable to do so.
I want to create a standard FPGA image using Vivado GUI.
I have first run the command “make X310_RFNOC_HG GUI=1”, saved the whole RTS design and reopened it as project mode, and then tried to create the bitstream from the GUI itself but it doesn’t work.
I have also tried adding the x300.v file, the constraints and all its dependent files into the design, and then done the synthesis, implementation and generated the bitstream, but when I loaded it onto the USRP I can’t recognize any block using the command uhd_usrp_probe. This is the error I get:
[ERROR] [UHD] Exception caught in safe-call.
in virtual ctrl_iface_impl::~ctrl_iface_impl()
at ~/uhd/host/lib/rfnoc/ctrl_iface.cpp:76
this->peek32(0); -> EnvironmentError: IOError: Block ctrl (CE_04_Port_70) no response packet - AssertionError: bool(buff)

I've done it many times. When you open it and you do a save-as of the
project, make sure that you don't check the option box to copy the files
over, you want to leave them in their current location.

Hi Jason,
It worked. I downloaded the source files from rfnoc-devel branch in the repository again and build it without choosing the option you mentioned.
I have still some critical warnings, but the image has been correctly generated and I could use it in the URSP. Also, all the timing constraints were now met. Thanks for the advice!

I'm glad you got it working. There are a lot of critical warnings and
things of that ilk that scroll by, but as long as you don't get any
errors and your project meets timing, I wouldn't worry too much about them.
Happy FPGAing.
