ReadFromBTPipeOut timeout?

Hi OK I use the xem3005, fw 3.1 on the ubuntu linux platform. I use several of your hdl modules (Wire, Trigger and BTPipe) in my fpga implementation. The FPGA interfaces with our own ASICs and I store the replies from the ASICs in a FIFO (generated by the coregen as you recommend) before a fetch the results back to the PC using a BTPipeOut module. My software is written in Java using Eclipse. The problem is that the amount of data stored in the FIFO might vary and it might be impossible to pre…

Seems like the freezing issue was something that may have been resolved around the time of FrontPanel 4.5.6 for Ubuntu 16.04. I’d just download the latest version of the FrontPanel SDK. That being 5.2.3, which is available for Ubuntu 16.04. That might resolve the freezing issue, and instead could report back a “Timeout” error code.

I’d recommend implementing a count feature on how much data is in your FIFO and relay that information to your application using a WireOut. Then you can call the ReadFromBlockPipeOut() once you know that there is data that can be retrieved.
