Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Need help in emergency for the fpga image

Thanks for the info. Try the following to compile it using the makefile
we include in the distro.

In order to do this you'll have to have the ISE12 settings exported in
your shell. You can do this by running:

source /opt/Xilinx/12.1/ISE_DS/settings32.sh  *OR*
source /opt/Xilinx/12.1/ISE_DS/settings64.sh 

depending on if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit system.

Then cd to the usrp2/top/u2_rev3 directory of the fpga repository and
run:

make bin

The bin file will be in the subdirectory build-ISE?? where ?? is the
version of ISE you use. So for 12.1 it will be at
build-ISE12/u2_rev3.bin.

Let me know if that FPGA file works for you and we can work from there.
