AD450 card returns error "Could obtain sipcid table (error fffffffb), exiting"

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
We are trying to access AD450 PMC card (AD482+AD250) using vxWorks driver supplied by 4DSP.


However on calling the function "tADC250(0)" ..it returns following & exits:



Start of program
--------------------------------------
Could obtain sipcid table (error fffffffb), exiting
value = -3 = 0xfffffffd


We checked that default FPGA firmware VHDL has 0x75 (117) as constellation ID & same was set in the supplied drivers also. Even than it returns "error fffffffb" related to wrong constellation ID.

[size=78%]-------------------------------------[/size]
Also using  the function "t4FMGetInfo("FM482", 0)" returns following:


FPGA A Revision = 0.10
Successfully read information from device 0
Information:
        FPGA A PCI Revision   : 0.10
        FPGA A Revision       : 3.4
        FPGA A Customer Nr.   : 0
        FPGA A Firmware Type  : 0
        FPGA A Has Ext. Infos : 0
        CPLD Revision         : 0.0
        Board Serial Number   : 0
        User ROM Value        : 0
        FPGA B Device Type    : XC4VLX40-10FF1148C
        FPGA B Revision       : 0.11.14
        FPGA B Firmware Type  : 1712
        On Board Memory       : QDR bank 2 and 0 available


------------------
In above data, FPGA-B device type is wrongly detected while ordered board configuration had " XC4VSX55" instead of  XC4VLX40.

Pl. suggest the reason for the same.

Hello,
Can you please provide me with a board serial number? I need to check if the hardware/software is covered by warranty or not.
The information displayed by t4FMGetInfo() is directly decoded from the BAR attached to our device. It looks like you are using a big endian (PowerPC) processor and our BSP only support Intel processors.
Best Regards,
Arnaud

abhishek:
Dear Arnaud,

Thanks for quick reply. We had baught two cards:

1. AD450   (AD482+AD250) : Serial Number 68800004
2. VID471 (FM482 + FP-CL) : Serial Number 49470003


Yes, we are using big endian (PowerPC) processor (C102 from Aitech) running VxWorks. We had confirmed about using the PPC host during techincal clarifications before ordering.


Both the boards are having the same issue.


Regards,
Abhishek

Dear Abhishek,
I am surprised about that because we don't have any PowerPC mainboard available and we would have needed to obtain one in order to do validate VX support for PowerPC.
There is nothing I can do. The boards/bsps were delivered to Avnet India and are out of warrant unfortunately.
The best way to proceed is for you to contact sales@4dsp.com and discuss that with them.
Best Regards,
Arnaud

Dear Arnaud,
Will surely contact through our supplier. But I guess warrenty support for other camera-link board (VID471-20-55-10I-AC-X , Serial Number 49470003) is still in support as it was purchased last year through Picosem Technology Pvt Ltd, India alongwith full BSP & VHDL reference codes.
Also I am not able to understand how it will not support big endian architecture beacause supplied vxWorks drivers contains logic to verify big-endian byte ordering [see line# 869 for (_BYTE_ORDER == _BIG_ENDIAN) in 4fmdrv.c ]

Thanks,
Abhishek
