SW1 Glow RED when I connect USB cable

I have seen this strange behavior with my zedboard, when I connect usb as power cable SW1 glows RED and D5-R41 Blue. This behavior is irrespective of boot_mode jumper settings JP1-JP3, I'm unable to boot the board.

Can anyone help?

SW1 is a push-button, so it should not be glowing. If it is, you have a much more serious problem.

I suspect you meant D3 on MicroZed which is above SW1. This is an LED under user control. When in JTAG mode or if the board is unconfigured, it is expected that this LED will glow red.

D5 is a green LED that lights when power is good. It is expected that this should light under all normal conditions.

If you are having trouble configuring the board, try the following:

Use a known good bitstream that matches your MicroZed. Is it a 7010 or 7020?

Double-check your JTAG connection. Is your cable good? Have you tried using iMPACT to query the board?

Use JTAG with SDK to connect to your board.

Follow Tutorials 01 through 04 on the MicroZed Reference Design page.

Thanks Bryan.

Can you point the bitstream and MicroZed Reference Design page links, I have 7010 microzed board.

Hello Jagan,

Here is the link to the MicroZed Reference Design page: http://zedboard.org/support/design/1519/10

The 7010 versions are clearly marked.

Thanks Gary for the info.

I have done the relevant steps and created bitstream.
Shall I use Xilinx Platform Cable USB II for microzed jtag? http://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/hw-usb-ii-g.html

I couldn't see the status LED glow even after I install the cable drivers?

The Platform Cable USB from Xilinx is supported with MicroZed. Are you using a supported operating system? If you are having trouble with the Xilinx tools and cable, you should contact Xilinx support.

Now the Xilinx Platform cables's working fine.

I have created fsbl, u-boot and tried below steps.
xsdb% connect
tcfchan#0
xsdb% targets
1 APU
     2 ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore #0 (Running)
     3 ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore #1 (Running)
4 xc7z010
xsdb% targets 2
xsdb% dow /opt/fsbl.elf
xsdb% Info: ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore #0 (target 2) Stopped at 0xffffff28 (Suspended)
xsdb% con
Info: ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore #0 (target 2) Running

<<< this step SW1 turned off >>>

xsdb% stop
xsdb% dow u-boot.elf
xsdb% con

I saw log on console

DATA_ABORT_HANDLER
FSBL_Status = 0xA304

This Boot Mode Doesn't Support Fallback
In FsblHookFallback function

Can anyone help, when I reboot the board it's again SW1 still glow RED.

Have you tried following any of the tutorials rather than the low-level XMD commands?
