  • It is very strange though that a USB device appears to you as COM3 or COM4. Can you put two screenshots of the Ports (COM & LPT) section of your Device Manager with the device connected by USB and with the device disconnected?
    Also set the speed to 115000 bauds instead of 9600 bauds

    With the usb plugged try to uninstall the device,

    Then, once uninstalled plug the USB cable in another USB port

    I think you don't need to install any drivers for the FTDI USB-to-UART bridge

    only get one data bit as shown in image bellowimage

    Press reset on the board and if you still see strange characters review PuTTY Configuration for com4 as suggested

    If you are testing with putty and the JTAG selected your are not going to see anything until you program the board I think

    please check the bellow video. In it, they have shown that you can access UART in JTAG boot mode via puTTY terminal. The SD card already has linux install in it.

    Yes, what I say is if you haven´t programmed anything that sends data through the uart you  are no going to see anything

    Vitis has a built in serial terminal included in its Debug view. Close any putty windows and from Vitis using the search field look for Serial Terminal, create a new one and adjust com and baud rate.

    Then try to program your board.

    In my case I have problems with JTAG if I have connected my Digilent Analog Discovery II that has an Spartan 6. I have always need to disconnect it before programming the minized.
