USB UART connection fails with MicroZed, using Xilinx SDk 2015.4

Former Member
Former Member over 9 years ago

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.

    Hi

    I rebuilt the application by following the simple MicroZed design in Vivado 2015.4.  I get a new error message says that Could not find FPGA device on the board for connection 'Local'.  Please let me what is happening here.

    Thank you

    Hi Zhu,
    I'm no expert but my question is, what jtag programmer are you using to connect to it? it sounds like SDK is not seeing your jtag programmer.
    Best,
