List of frequently added questions

What is PTS really?

Basically it is a Python environment to check the connectivity of all components of a board after production. E.g. it checks for no opens, no shorts, all components working etc. It is not a functional test. In most cases we have specific gateware to be able to test everything and as a last step we load the final, functional gateware. The idea is that any technician at a production company can easily test a card.

Where can I find the source of test bitstream?

The vhdl code for the test bitstream is not upload on the repository of this project but on the repository of the card that needs to be tested.

I have an error while compiling the gnurabbit driver?

Make sure you have your kernel files, and that the environment variables $LINUX or $CROSS_COMPILE are not already set!

What are Python coding guidelines that should be used?

The Style Guide for Python Code is what we use as reference. E.g. use 4 spaces for indenting.
