I am running two different virtual machines, one Ubuntu 18.04 LTS under VMware running Vivado 2017.2 and another running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Vivado 2015.4. I can program FPGA / JTAG debugging with the Digilent HS3 using XSDK 15.4. Running the same hardware running the second VM with XSDK 17.2, it does not find the JTAG. The debugger does not discover the JTAG device on Vivado 17.2 the way it does on Vivado 15.4. In both cases the cable drivers say they are loaded, and the HS3 driver appears to be recognized in dmesg. So I know that the JTAG is wired correctly as it works in the first VM. However, the new development must be on the second VM.
Please note that I can access the JTAG under Windows using XSDK 2017.2. However, I need to develop under Ubuntu and transferring to Windows for debugging is very time consuming!
The board is the MicroZed 7020. The configurations of both machines appears substantially the same. What is the problem? How to diagnose?
