Trouble installing second dds (urukul ad9910)

hoogeroo

Hello, I have been recently attempting to install a second dds (Creotech Urukul ad9910) into my labs Artiq system.

Previous to the 2nd instillation there was already a functioning ad9910 in the setup, of which still works.

When attempting to call the urukul cpld in an "artiq_run" function, I am receiving a proto-rev mismatch error. From reading through the documentation I believe this is a result of one of two things, the proto-rev value indeed being wrong, or more likely, the card is not seated correctly, be it hardware or firmware wise.

Error:

Core Device Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "<artiq>/coredevice/urukul.py", line 252, column 17, in ... artiq.coredevice.urukul.CPLD.init<artiq.coredevice.urukul.CPLD>(...)

ValueError: Urukul proto_rev mismatch

From what I can tell I believe I have correctly installed it, it is plugged into the 9th and 10th slots (of 11) on our Kasli_Soc, and has the other wire plugged into the board (same layout as the previous ad9910).

Firmware

After installing the device I changed my device description json file which is seen below:

The device description is where I might have problems, I don't have the greatest grasp on it. From this I proceed to create a device db file with the device db template cmd, then recompile my gateware and make files in artiq-zynq/src, then flash the device over local network with ethernet/jtag. Which all seems good.

This is my device_db file:

#side note, my 2nd urukul is powered.

If anyone has any pointers, be it here or a certain place in the documentation, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks 🙂

When compiling the idle kernel, make sure that its compiling for the Kasli-SoC (ARM) and not the Kasli v2 (RISC-V). Perhaps the wrong (or an old) device_db.py was used to artiq_compile idle_kernel.py?

Double check that you have connected your new Urukul to the correct ports. You can use the link below for reference:

srenblad Hey Srenblad, I did attempt this, although now I am running into issues where I can no longer interact with my box over ethernet, and the error led is on, so I'll have to figure that out :")

@srenblad Hey I just got back into the lab, thank you for your pointers, I'll give them a go and get back to you 😃 thank you

Have you tried getting the UART log?

Additionally, check that the correct Urukul firmware version has been flashed. Binaries are available on Hydra.
