FPGA bitfile Not Found

[sanwor...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

We were setting up an Open Ephys acquisition board with Opal Kelly XEM6010 on a Windows 7 PC, and ran into a problem - 

After installing drivers, the Opal Kelly board was detected by the OS in the device manager.

However, when we open the GUI and drag a Rhythm FPGA into the signal chain box, we get an error message (also see the first screenshot attached): 

FPGA bitfile Not Found

The rhd2000.bit file was not found in the directory of the executable. Would you like to browse for it? (Y/N)

From this prompt we choose the bit file (second screenshot), which is in the executable directory, but each time it immediately re-launches the same error message (bit file not found). We see the same error regardless of whether we point to rhd2000.bit or rhd2000_usb3.bit.

Has anyone here seen this issue before?

Much thanks,

-Josh

Hi Josh,

Can you please run the GUI with a --console parameter and copy the contents of the debug console? That might shed information on your issue. To do so, simply create a shortcut to the executable, edit it and append --console at the end of the target line.

Also, did the 6010 come from us? I assume it is a XEM6010-LX45 and not a lx150 right?

Best,

Aarón

I think I'm having the same issue. Everything was working just fine. Then, I came back to do experiments and this is the error:

Found 1 Opal Kelly device connected:

Couldn't upload bitfile from /home/Programs/GUI-0.4.0/Builds/Linux/build/rhd2000.bit

My computer has Ubuntu 14.04 installed. The acquisition board is the old version usb2

The power supply was damaged. I replaced the power supply and everything works fine.

Dear all, we have all of a sudden, the same issue with "not found FPGA bitfile". Was this issue already solved? Any idea about the reason?
