Error while flashing gateware (Windows)

sb10q
Thanks. Yes, indeed a single-user Nix enables me to install ARTIQ as documented. I added artiq-full.artiq-board-kasli-bonn to the nix file for installation.

Running artiq_flash -V bonn from within WSL however seems not find the board.

[nix-shell:~]$ artiq_flash -V bonn

If you think this might be a Windows/conda issue I can try to get my hands on a linux machine in the next days, but I would really like to make this work under Windows as well.

Yes, the openocd is from the m-labs conda channel.

(artiq) qumercury_artiq> mamba list openocd
# packages in environment at C:\tools\miniconda3\envs\artiq:
#
# Name                    Version                   Build  Channel
openocd                   0.10.0+git2          hf4984f1_0    m-labs

Reinstalled it via mamba install openocd -c m-labs --force-reinstall, but this did not help.

With the 0.10.0+git1 or 0.10.0.git versions of openocd I however get a Can't find board/kasli.cfg:

With the version 0.10.0+git1 of openocd this is a file problem. The kasli.cfg does not exist under C:\tools\miniconda3\envs\[ENVIRONMENT NAME]\Library\share\openocd\scripts\board. If I copy that file from the 0.10.0+git2 version to the location in the 0.10.0+git1 installation desired folder this specific error message is gone, but I again get the invalid command name "xadc_report" error message from before. So the problem persists.

Any ideas?

sb10q How did you install the first one (that did not work)?

The first package also came from m-labs anaconda repo: conda install -c m-labs openocd, I also tried other versions available there via conda install -c m-labs openocd=0.10.0+git1 for example. Both did not work.

rjo I think an issue filed would be good. https://git.m-labs.hk/M-Labs/nix-scripts would be the adequate repo most likely. I think you can get old conda packages directly from nixbld.m-labs.hk.

There is now an issue concerning the problem: https://git.m-labs.hk/M-Labs/nix-scripts/issues/83
