Gnuradio over Zynq

GNU Radio
#1

Hi,

I would like to run the example from the GNURadio adaptation for Zynq
(
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Zynq), but I am not
able
to run it, it gives me a coredump.

I managed to create the bootable card, at least I think so as the
example
does not work.

What I did:

zedboard> cat zedboard.bin > /dev/xdevcfg
zedboard> cat /sys/devices/amba.0/f8007000.ps7-dev-cfg/prog_done
1

zedboard> ./zynq_fir_filter_example
Read the FPGA status…
/sys/devices/amba.0/f8007000.ps7-dev-cfg/prog_done = 1
Setup the driver…
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

zedboard> file zynq_fir_filter_example

The compilation of the example was OK, no error, the compilation and
installation of gr-zynq module, the same.

Have some one else tried this zynq implementation recently?

I know we have been talking over email, but I wanted to post this for
everyone to see.

The Zynq build wiki has gotten a little out of date and over the next
few
weeks I’ll be updating it to fix various issues that have been brought
up.
As well, there has been a lot great work on the Open Embedded side that
makes building images even easier, so expect a rather large update to
the
wiki.

Hi, just to register the cause of the error, if can be helpful for
others
in the future!

The problem was that the module user_peripheral was missing. Apparently
when you configure the it and when you get the oe manifest with the
daisy
branch it does not come by default. The ideal is to use the stable
branch.

git clone git://github.com/balister/oe-gnuradio-manifest.git -b stable

moreover, after,you manage to have a bootable card, before trying the
example you need to insert the module. For me:

insmod /lib/modules/3.8.11-xilinx/extra/user_peripheral.ko

Otherwise you will get an null pointer exception when it tries to get
the
attributes of the device on the line:
*buffer_length = atol(udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev,
“xx_buf_len”));

Best regards…

Daniel
