The monitor command - what replaces monitor -ams at 0.95

[korifey]

now it works.
chmod +x xadc.sh

First some reasoning.
'monitor' is a debugging tool, it should not be used as part of an application, common monitoring tools usually only provide basic memory read/write functionality. Previously XADC used some custom RTL code to connect it to the CPU, this code was replaced with more standard code which allows for the use of a dedicated IIO Linux driver. It did not make much sense to me to modify the existing monitor to use the new kernel interface. But I wrote examples for using XADC in bash and C.

Bash example:
https://github.com/RedPitaya/RedPitaya/ ... dc/xadc.sh
'bc ' is a shell calculator, it can be installed on Debian/Ubuntu using the command:

Code: Select all

# apt-get install bc

C example can be found inside the API (functions rp_AIpinGetValueRaw and rp_AIpinGetValue):
https://github.com/RedPitaya/RedPitaya/ ... e/src/rp.c

I also tried to use 'libiio' from Analog and I had some success, but libiio is not yet part of our release so I did not finish and publish the code.

Generally speaking, now XADC is connected in a more standard way so various instructions provided by Xilinx should work, it does not make too much sense for us to duplicate those instructions, and I think we are better off without custom solutions like the one used previously in the monitor.
