Program FPGA failed when FMC (DC1532A-L) plugged into FMC-Carrier Card

Question

Hello, I am trying to program the MicroZed through the FMC-Carrier Card via JTAG, while the FMC module DC1532A-L (Linear Technology) is plugged in the Carrier Card. But when I click on the Program FPGA button in Xilinx SDK (2017.4) I get the following error message: " Could not find FPGA device on the board for connection 'Local'.

Troubleshooting hints:
1. Check whether board is connected to system properly.
1. In case of zynq board, check whether Digilent/Xilinx cable switch settings are correct.
1. If you are using Xilinx Platform Cable USB, ensure that status LED is green.
Program FPGA failed "

If I unplug the FMC module from the Carrier Card, SDK runs the programming without a problem --> board is connected to system properly and status LED is green in both cases (FMC module plugged in & unplugged). I guess the FMC module is somehow interfering with the JTAG pins?

Hi Josh, that did it! But it is actually R96 on the FMC-CC where I had to solder the pins together. It is even stated in the schematic: "Short R96 for complete JTAG loop if presented FMC Card doesn't loop back JTAG chain signals" Thank you very much! -Urs
