USB UART connection fails with MicroZed, using Xilinx SDk 2015.4

Former Member

I am following the example on Introduction to Zynq Hardware

: Running the "Hello World " Application.   Everything works as expected with building the hardware and exporting to SDK.   I do all of the following as instructed in the document:

1. Set Jumper to Cascaded JTAG Mode

2. Connected a USB cable between a PC and the microUSB port on Zed

3. Connected a Xilinx JTAG Programming Cable to J3

4. Use Device Manager to determine the COM port for the USB-UART

Next...In the Project Explore Window I right click on hello_world and select Run as > Run Configurations.  Right click Xilinx C/C++ application(GDB) and click New.

Now...When I click RUN in the Run Configuration window (according to the tutorial) a  message should appear asking if I want to launch the application even though configuration of the FPGA is not done.  BUT instead I get the ERROR says that Connection to Board Failed.  It looks like all the connections and drivers are there.  I would really like to understand what is going on here.

Thank you every one.

    Hello,

     

    You don't give a link to the example on "Introduction to Zynq Hardware" you are using so I am not sure exactly what steps you performed.

     

    I did build a simple MicroZed design in Vivado 2015.4, exported to the SDK and and built one of the applications (Peripheral Test in this case). I connected a Xilinx Platform USB cable and was able to set up the Run Configuration and execute the program as you mention with no problem.

     

    I would suggest going through the steps of the example carefully to make sure they were executed properly. Or, better yet, try the tutorials on the MicroZed Reference Designs/Tutorials page:
