Subject: Re: [USRP-users] RFNoc Blocks with Xilinx IP

 

Hi Brendon,

 

I went ahead and updated the OOT example repo to be compatible with Vivado 
2017.4 and the uhd-fpga "master" branch: 
https://github.com/ejk43/rfnoc-ootexample

 

The simulation testbenches now run using uhd-fpga master. Let me know if this 
works for you. Thanks!

EJ

Hi Brendon,

 

I have an example repo that shows how to use out-of-tree makefiles with xilinx 
IP (.xci definitions): github.com/ejk43/rfnoc-ootexample 
<http://github.com/ejk43/rfnoc-ootexample> 

 

Please feel free to copy this format-  a few other rfnoc developers on the 
mailing list indicated it has worked for them too. 

 

Note that the rfnoc blocks are currently targeting the uhd-fpga source code as 
of Vivado 2015.4, and the testbenches will NOT currently run against most 
recent uhd-fpga and Vivado 2017.4. I would really appreciate a PR to update the 
IP to use vivado 2017.4 and noc blocks with the new inputs to the noc_shell :) 
I'll update it "eventually" but no idea when exactly. 

 

Hope this helps! Looking forward to seeing your OOT fpga blocks :)

 

EJ

Hello Brendon:

 

Could you describe in more detail what you're trying to do, or how you want to 
add your Xilinx IP?

 

Are you still using "rfnocmodtool" to add your custom RFNoC blocks?

 

The flow described in that document, and in the Application Note below, is the 
primary/intended way to add IP to an RFNoC installation.

 

https://kb.ettus.com/Getting_Started_with_RFNoC_Development

 

Please note that you should use the head of the UHD master branch, not the 
"rfnoc-devel" branch, when using RFNoC.

I have been following the following blog post:

 

http://www.synchronouslabs.com/blog/creating-a-custom-rfnoc-block-with-using-xillinx-ip

 

Near the end, it instructs the user to add the Xilinx IP files (.xci for 
example) to the UHD project directory.

 

However, as this is a clone of the Ettus Research repo 
(https://github.com/EttusResearch/fpga.git), I am wondering if there is another 
way to do it that is compliant with the RFNOC build process.

 

Specifically, I would like to drop my customized Xilinx IP within my own rfnoc 
repository. 

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks,

Brendon
