thanks for the tip. after you said that, I realized I never changed the original code to read/write to the input/output
I will look at the other examples and try again
thanks
I tried to use the ucf file under logipi-gpio-exaple folder and got an error in Xilinx ISE. Anyone have a tip on using ucf file or configuring Xilinx ISE?
I attached a screen shot of the error I get.
thanks

I took a look at the drivers in logi-projects. I forgot to include the LogiPi ucf when I generated the .bit file, so I need to update the ISE project to use that. This is the correct one to use?

thanks for responding so quickly.
that helps clarify things. I was able to follow your tutorial on element14, generate the verilog, generate the bit file in xlinix ise and load it with logi loader. The part where I got lost was running that code on…
Hi jonathan,
I was able to follow that tutorial, run the simulation, generate the .bit file and load it with logi-loader. Dumb question, how would I call it from python after that? Looking at the other examples in logi-apps on github, I need to use…
Hi jpait,
I already went through a few the basic examples on myHDL website. Right now I'm reading about converting to Verilog and VHDL. I thought of a couple of examples, though I haven't gotten that far yet.
Simple decision tree - since I'm playi…
Agree, it would get tricky. I was reading up on Xilinx and Altera DSP yesterday. Even though I'm a newbie to FPGA, it was pretty clear the differences between product lines would mean code that works on Spartan DSP wouldn't necessarily work on Alter…
Hi Jonathan,
thanks for taking time to respond, and providing interesting details. I'll have to read it again and digest it slowly.
In terms of cost, the LOGi camera is the same, but the way it connects isn't ideal. I would probably have to make …
thanks for catching that. here is the link

@mjones thanks for taking time to respond. The reason I ask is this. I'm working on a personal project to build racing robots using machine vision/computer vision. I tried OpenCV with raspi and picamera and found it too slow. I only need it to proce…
thanks.
I'm just glad I figured out what was causing the issue. Though I don't think it was the dist-upgrade by itself that caused the i2c error. I suspect it is caused by disabling serial port login, which caused a communication error. the uart de…
I got rid of the stupid "fatal: module spi-dev not found" by running raspi-config and turning off device tree. thought I mention that in case anyone else encounters that stupid error with the latest raspbian.
After a lot of trial and error, I managed to get both Logi blink test and brickpi's motor test running simultaneously. It turns out the init_uart_clock=32000000 wasn't the issue. If I set lower, it causes brickpi to not work. I got it to work by com…
I see in BrickPi's install script, it sets this
init_uart_clock=32000000
would that cause the i2c issue? I'm not totally clear on which setting affects i2c.
thanks
I was guessing brickpi sets the i2c to a higher rate. I've posted a question to dexter's forum, hopefully I'll have an answer.
once I got it working with a clean image on both Raspi 1 B+ and Raspi 2 B, everything looked normal and I was able to run…
I don't know either, but I will investigate and try to figure it out. It was a good lesson, since I didn't expect the drivers for dexter industries brickpi to cause compatibility issues.
using the same SD card that worked on Raspberry Pi 1 B+, it also worked on Raspberry Pi 2 B.
I'm guessing it is the I2C driver that BrickPi uses, which is causing the issue. How exactly does LOGi Pi use the I2C and Spi?
thanks
peter
I wiped the card and reloaded it using the 2015-2-16 image on the wiki. Now it works with Raspberry Pi 1 B+. I think the problem is that I also loaded drivers for Dexter Industries BrickPi, which collided with the drivers used by LOGi Pi. I'll have …
yes I've tried everything in this thread and the other thread. I tried the image up on wiki and a clean raspbian and building from source directly with a Raspi 2 B.
I followed the instructions, but I am having problems getting Raspberry Pi 2 working with LOGi Pi2. The error I get is
LOGI_LOADER VERSION : 0.1.0
Compiled for LOGI-PI
could not open I2C device : /dev/i2c-1!
