Modified from Intan C++/Qt source code for RHD2000 interface software, version 1.5

Compiling unmodified Intan evaluation board software Steps to compile on Ubuntu 14.04 (starting from fresh download from Intan), some steps taken from Intan_README.txt

1. Navigate to source/

2. cp ../Opal\ Kelly\ library\ files/Linux\ 64-bit/libokFrontPanel.so .

3. In RHD2000interface.pro file, add a line LIBS += -L./ -l okFrontPanel -ldl

   This way the generated Makefile by qmake have the correct linker flags to find okFrontPanel and libdl libraries.

4. Do qmake-qt4.

5. In production systems, change the -02 flag into -03 for both CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS line in the Makefile.

Running make should now be successful.

Installing USB Drivers:

Linux drivers can be downloaded from Intan website.

1. Extract and follow the LINUX_README.txt instructions to add a udev rule to allow USB access to the attached Opal Kelly devices.

2. This is not enough. The libFrontPanel.so library is linked against libudev0. Ubuntu 14.04 only supplies libudev1. So, go download a libudev0 debian package and manually install it with dpkg -i <package_name>.

All versions of bitfiles for the FPGA live in bitfiles/.

originaIntanMain.bit is the main.bit file that comes from their website. Before running the evaluation board, one of the bit files must be copied to the source directory and renamed to main.bit.

Modified Interface Software

To compile the modified interface software:

1. Replace the main.bit file in source/ with the appropriate ones from bitfiles/ directory.

2. Replace the libokFrontpanel.so, okFrontPanelDLL.h, and okFrontPanelDLL.cpp from the appropriate folder from OpalKellyLibraryFiles/ folder. XEM6010/ contains those for XEM6010-LX45 (unmodified Intan), XEM6310/ contains those for XEM6310-LX150.

Additions for USB3

Detects whether the connected Opal Kelly board is LX-45 or LX-150. USB3 mode is used for LX-150
