fpga_test support and documentation

[kmzaja]

The README file for fpga_test is 2 years old and so are the instructions and other code files int that folder. Where can I find the latest instructions/guide on this?

I am trying to figure out the workaround it but so far I haven't been successful. Can someone guide me on how did they deploy this project on a board using these instructions?
To replicate the procedure, I made the directory structure similar to what is mentioned in the README file. I am currently stuck with generating the VIVADO project using project_gpgpu.tcl script as most of the commands in the script are deprecated (the dsa one).

Also, is there some specific FPGA board that we have to use for this project?

@yff18 any help with this?

Okay, So I am able to modify the project_gpgpu.tcl script according to my FPGA board.

There is one warning in VIVADO:

[IP_Flow 19-2248] Failed to load user IP repository '/home/kmzaja/kmzaja/ventus_gpgpu/ventus/ip_repo/CTA_Schedular_1.0'; Can't find the specified path.
If this directory should no longer be in your list of user repositories, go to the IP Settings dialog and remove it.

This is a critical problem. and someone asked it here #21
So, what is the status on that since it is a year old post?

@yff18 any help with this?

We are sorry that our fpga_test has not been maintained since its creation, and not yet started deploy it on FPGA. I'm afraid we can only provide you with limited help. The tcl in fpga_test can create project. We are very glad that you are interested in improving FPGA-related support, and looking forward to your contribution. Please feel free to contact us through issue or email.

FPGA board we use is vcu128
