Having issues in reproducing the work

[miniskar]

First, we thank you for your impressive work. We would like to reproduce your work on our Artix A7 board. However, we are not able to do reproduce it as we are getting the below error. Can you please help us in resolving this issue?

This is with the master branch of litex.

If I use the litex submodule of this repository, I am facing the below error.

Hi Thank you for checking our repo. I recently switched to another project and @developandplay was looking into the project. @developandplay; do you have any suggestion regarding the issue?

Sorry for the late response. I'll look into it tomorrow. Hopefully I can reproduce it.

@miniskar Can you double check whether the pythondata directory for BlackParrot exists and has the source files in it? These days LiteX only installs BlackParrot source files if you install it using the "full" parameter, alternatively you can modify this https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex/blob/b8e22fcd799cac29c8c78bac7e2ec7fe97a3a35c/litex_setup.py#L140 to include BlackParrot in the standard configuration.

The issue you are probably encountering when using the old branch of LiteX is that you would need to downgrade all other LiteX branches as well. I would not recommend it...Unless you face an issue with the current LiteX version.

Also if you quickly want to test BlackParrot working without synthesizing the bitstream for the Arty I can recommend trying it in litexsim first.
