On ANTSDR AD9363 board, ./wgd.sh command execution failed.

[chubohao]

Hello Dr.Jiao,

My board is MicroPhase ANTSDR AD9363, I followed the steps below, but had problems executing the . /wgd.sh command, I encountered a problem.

1. Downloaded mirrors in the table.
2. Using the image burning software (Windows), burn the image to the SD card.
3. Copy files in openwifi/antsdr to the base directory of BOOT partition.Copy openwifi/zynq-common/uImageto the base directory of BOOT partition, then power on.Then power up and start.
4. Execute cd openwifi, then execute . /wgd.sh, and then encountered the following error message.

Best wishes and looking forward to your reply.

Bohao

I think you can refer to this https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi#build-openwifi-linux-img-from-scratch, to build the image from scratch. I have tried this and it works for me. you can uncomment some instructions to speed up the build process, for example you can uncomment the scripts related to linux-64, which is for mpsoc device.

"Using the image burning software (Windows), burn the image to the SD card."

As far as I know, lots of user have issue with Windows (even for the SD card burning). I suggest you use Linux (such as Ubuntu 18 or 20 LTS).

I and several other guys use AndSDR also met this problem. Actually, I did not build it but just downloaded the image from https://users.ugent.be/~xjiao/openwifi-1.3.1-wilsele-1-32bit.img.xz. Restore it to SD card. But wgd.sh fails.

I digged into the flow. The problem happens at load_fpga_img.sh line 62, it fails and exit to wgd.sh, CLI report that wgd line 142 segment fault.

I tried to comment out line 62. Then load_fpga_img.sh runs to line 74 and loop forever as it cannot find device /sys/bus/platform/drivers/cf_axi_adc/79020000.cf-ad9361-lpc.

I had tried to build with latest master. It has no problem to support zc702+fmcomms4, but it still fails for AntSDR.

Asked AntSDR support, they said that they can get good build by building from scratch. I will try it tomorrow.

Create a SD card with the image from https://users.ugent.be/~xjiao/openwifi-1.3.1-wilsele-1-32bit.img.xz. Then generate bitstream and driver with latest code. Update SD card with methon in section Reload driver and FPGA(https://github.com/open-sdr/openwifi/blob/master/doc/app_notes/drv_fpga_dynamic_loading.md). Then run wgd.sh.It repeats below information for ever:

• '[' '!' -d /sys/bus/spi/drivers/ad9361/spi0.0 ']'
• echo 'Waiting for /sys/bus/spi/drivers/ad9361/spi0.0' Waiting for /sys/bus/spi/drivers/ad9361/spi0.0
• sleep 0.2

Today I used Linux to re-burn SD card again. Different from previous operation, I did not touch computer during burning. Now the image from https://users.ugent.be/~xjiao/openwifi-1.3.1-wilsele-1-32bit.img.xz works correctly.

https://users.ugent.be/~xjiao/openwifi-1.3.1-wilsele-1-32bit.img.xz why? I can not download the img file。

Please use our new img in readme

Please use our new img in readme

i am sorry, new img does not work on adrv9364z7020 board, I followed the steps,but the sd card can not start. The uart put nothing.

[JiaoXianjun]

You should show the exact operations you did after downloading the img, and tell us all information/outputs (OS, version, SD card tool, board type, etc.).
