RedPitaya Image

The RedPitayaDAQServer project uses a custom RedPitaya image that was derived from the red-pitaya-notes project. It consists of an Alpine Linux with some development tools installed. Additionally the image reserves the upper 128 MB of main memory for the FPGA, which is used as a buffer for recording the data from the fast ADCs.

Setting Up Server

First, connect the RedPitaya to you local network and connect to the device via ssh:

ssh root@rp-f?????.local

where ????? is the ID that is printed on the RedPitaya. The default password is root. After logging into the RedPitaya go to the folder

/root/apps/

and clone the RedPitayaDAQServer project:

git clone https://github.com/tknopp/RedPitayaDAQServer

Then cd into RedPitayaDAQServer

cd /root/apps/RedPitayaDAQServer

and enter make. This will compile the library, the server, and some example applications. After you restart the RedPitaya the DAQ server will automatically run and you can access it via TCP.
