bitstream

Former Member
Former Member over 13 years ago

Hi, I have a problem in sending the bitstream to the ZedBoard

I'm using windows Vista 32 bit
I started with SW 14.1 and now Iu2019m in 14.2

1) I connected Teraterm through usb port J14, I booted from SD then I grounded JP9 and JP10, and I got the message:
Program FPGA failed
Reason:
FPGA configuration encountered errors.
2) I connected to J14, booted from SD, grounded JP9-JP10, then connected to J17 (USB-JTAG): got the FPGA error as above
3) I connected to J17, booted from SD, grounded JP9-JP10: got the FPGA error as above

Is there something else that I have to do?

If go to iMPACT and click on u201Cboundary scanu201D receive: u201Cright click to add device or initialize JTAG chainu201D
If I right click and then u201Cinitialize chainu201D I get the error message: u201CWARNING:iMPACT:923 u2013 Can no find cable, check cable setup!

If I right click and then u201Ccable setupu201D I get the error message: u201CERROR:iMPACT u2013 This function requires that a target is opened first.u201D

I wonder:
- is there any jumper configuration that I miss?
- And then what usb port do I have to use to send the bitstream, the J14 (USB-UART) or the J17 (USB-JTAG)?

Do I have a not working ZedBoard?

best regards,

Roberto

    hi Brian,

    well, I had problem with 14.1 and then I upgraded to 14.2, still with that same problem

    I don't remeber that I unchecked the Cable Drivers, but I cannot vow...

    maybe windows vista 32 bit is not supported, but importing drivers as described above it works, and this is good

    if this could help, I'll report the next upgrade to 14.3, when available

    Windows Vista is not officially supported.  That is likely the problem.  I'm glad you found a successful work-around.
