ZedBoard (rev. D) not detected by Vivado

dpdani

Hello,

I'm having trouble connecting my ZedBoard (rev. D) to Vivado.

It was already flashed, and I can see U-Boot/etc output over Tera Term, so I don't think there's a cable issue here.
I have downloaded the Cypress driver and the USB is managed by the correct driver:

But Vivado for some reason doesn't see it at all:

As far as I understand, the cable drivers in the Vivado distribution were installed correctly:

INFO: InstallPath="C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2021.2\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\"
windrvr6 is not installed (this is expected for Windows 10 and later)

Any help would be greatly appreciated Pray

  • One additional note: my system doesn't have a USB port, so I'm connecting the board over a USB-C hub. Would that change anything?

  • in reply to dpdani

    I have connected via JTAG to my boards using USB hubs before in Windows successfully. I've also seen with a Linux VM where that definitely did NOT work.

    I suggest you take a step back and do something simpler -- try a very simple hardware platform in Vivado, then export to Vitis and see if you can run Hello World. Note that the default baud rate for bare metal apps is 115200.

    Hello, thanks for the advice, but unfortunately it still didn't work.

    I've tried to implement this example project: https://digilent.com/reference/programmable-logic/guides/getting-started-with-ipi
    Once I try to run the project (the last step in the tutorial), Vitis comes up with this error:

    Error while launching program: 
    Could not find ARM device on the board for connection 'Local'.
    Check if the target is in:
    1. Split JTAG - No operations are possible with ARM DAP.
    2. Non JTAG bootmode - Bootrom may need time to enable DAP.
    Please try again.


    Troubleshooting hints:
    1. Check whether board is connected to system properly.
    2. In case of zynq board, check whether Digilent/Xilinx cable switch settings are correct.
    3. If you are using Xilinx Platform Cable USB, ensure that status LED is green.
    Could not find ARM device on the board for connection 'Local'.

    Also, the Vivado Hardware Manager still doesn't show any targets, as in the picture above.
