Connecting to the Convey HC-1 Machine

  1. Download and install NX Client.
  2. Connect to convey-1.ece.iastate.edu using your ISU NetID and the password yournetid@123.
  3. Change your password by opening a terminal window and running the passwd command.

You can access the shared /home/cpre584_t2 folder by switching users accounts in the terminal. Simply type su cpre584_t2 and enter our password. Alternatively, you can access the two files Jone's created for us here:

  1. Setup your Convey environmental variables (Jone's Script)
  2. Here's a copy of the Xilinx 11.1 src file:
source /remote/Xilinx/11.1/settings64.sh
export PATH=$PATH:/remote/Modelsim/6.4b/modeltech/linux_x86_64/
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=1717@io.ece.iastate.edu:27006@io.ece.iastate.edu

    • This document gives information about how to go about developing your own HW/SW designs on the convey system.
    • Start with section 10.5 to quickly start playing with the system. Then use the rest of Section 10 to help you understand the example C code.
    • You will need to read through of other sections of this document to understand how the overall system works.
  • /opt/convey/doc/ConveyProgrammersGuide.pdf
