Running the Application

 Top  Previous  Next

Once you have selected your DSP board, clicking ICON_run or Go/Run starts your selected application. The start button changes to grey and an indicator at the bottom right of the main display changes to Running.

 

Note that there may be a delay of several seconds if a bitstream needs to be sent to an FPGA;  bitstreams can be very large and take a long time to load. If your application uses more than one FPGA, the delay after starting to load can be quite long.

If the server cannot locate a link interface to use to talk to your board, you get the following message:

 

SERVER_no_link

 

There are several possible causes for this:
•You do not have a suitable board plugged into your PC;

•You have more than one board, but have not selected the particular one you want to use;

•You have another instance of the server running and that has already set up a link to your selected board;

•Another application, possibly a maintenance utility from the board manufacturer, has claimed the board.
