Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Missing files in USRP2 ISE project

I tried the makefile in u2_rev3 but got some erros:

I've found some info about this erros on http://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/29765.htm , but I wasn't able to make it work. So I tried the hard way. I created a project and  manualy configured it acording to the makefile.

There was also another error in the implementation step when I tried to build the code:

ERROR:NgdBuild:789 -
   "/export/tiago/TCC/implementacao/usrp2/fpga/top/u2_rev3/u2_rev3.ucf" Line
   326: 'CLOCK_DEDICATED_ROUTE' is an invalid constraint name.

Commenting that constraint solves the problem and the project builds fine. I uploaded the bitstream to the usrp2 and it seems to be OK.

Are these the errors related to the bugs in ISE 9.1 that you talked about? Is there some consequence in removing the 'CLOCK_DEDICATED_ROUTE' constraint?

Anyway, I'll try to get a more recent version of ISE.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm trying to open the ISE project in gnuradio/usrp2/fpga/top/u2_fpga and it seems some files are missing.

Don't use u2_fpga.  Use u2_rev3, which will compile fine.

I'm using ISE 9.1i and it first converts the project to version 9.1 and then I got the annexed error.

I believe ISE 9.1 has some bugs which affect our design.  You'll want to upgrade to 10.1.03.  I haven't tried the new 11.1 yet.
