Missing artiq-board-kasli-ubirmingham package

dxs114

Hi,

I am trying to flash our hardware as I have installed the new ARTIQ 6 software and the hardware is still configured for version 5. The variant of my hardware is 'ubirmingham' but I cannot find any packages like that online. I can only see 'ubirmingham2', which is another group within my university. Am I missing something?

Your bitstream/firmware build subscription lapsed. We contacted you last December but didn't receive a reply. You can build the binaries yourself or contact -- in your case -- sales@quartiq.de for a quote for a renewal of your subscription.

Is it not possible to get the legacy flash file at least? So that I can get it back to version 5?

As in to get it to the latest version of the firmware that we had prior to the subscription lapsing?

I don't think those old builds from a year ago are archived. Didn't you say you have your hardware configured for version 5?

Sorry, I did not explain it fully. It was originally configured for version 5. But I tried to flash it a few times before I realised that the package was missing so it is not configured for it anymore.

Did the flash actually get erased? Normally, artiq_flash doesn't do anything if it doesn't find the new firmware files.

I managed to find a backup version of the firmware files in our group folders and so far, all seems to work fine. Thanks for the help
