MicroZed Evaluation Kit - JTAG problems

Question

Hello,
I'm using a Microzed (7010) Evaluation Kit with Vivado (2014.4) and SDK (2014.4) on Win7 Pro/64bit for evaluation purposes.

The SD Boot worked fine while I'm experiencing some problems using the "FPGA Program" command in the SDK (HelloWorld example).
The errors are "Connection to Board Failed - Cable is not powered on" or "Connection to Board Failed - Could not find a supported debug device on the board.Check if the jumper settings on the board are correct" (randomly).

I'm using a Xilinx Platform Cable USB (DLC9G).

It appears correctly connected and powered (green led) and the jumper settings are exactly the same reported in the HelloWorld example (Cascaded JTAG Boot Mode).

All suggestions are welcome.
Thank you

Hello Dune,

It looks as if your setup is correct. Just to confirm your jumper settings are setup in JTAG Boot Mode(See Picture Below)?

If this is correct, then all I can think of is an issue with your Xilinx Platform Cable USB. We here at Avnet suggest the use of the Digilent HS3 JTAG Cable for Zynq Development. https://products.avnet.com/parts/components/2004746-digilent-jtag-hs3-programming-cable-xilinx-fpgas-jtag-hs3-high-speed-cable.html

If you still want to use the Xilinx Platform cable then I would suggest you ask this question over at the Xilinx Community Forum under the configuration section. Also if you could post a link to your forum post, it would be very helpful to the community.
