Dear Sir or Madam,
I have several problems to connect my Zynq-7000 EPP 7Z020 ZedBoard via USB. I have downloaded the Cypress USB-UART driver here https://secure.cypress.com/?mpn=CY7C64225-28PVXC and followed the following instructions to install it: http://zedboard.org/sites/default/files/documentations/CY7C64225_Setup_Guide_1_3.pdf
The installation seemed to work fine but after I attached the ZedBoard I did not have the "CypressUsbConsoleWindowsDriver" list inside my Device Manager. The COM-Port is displayed but as "USB Serial Port (COM4)" and not as "Cypress Serial (COM4)". Apart from that, when I enter the advanced settings of the COM-Port I don't have the possibilty to enable "Port Persist". When I try to connect to the board using the program "Tera Term" it does not react and I do not get any answer inside the terminal.
I hope you can help me since I do not have any idea what I could have done wrong. I tried the whole procedure with two different PCs, one running Windows 7 and the other Windows 8.1.
Thank you very much in advance!
Yours sincerely,
