How do I setup XILINX hardware target for Minized (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS)

Hello, I have a Minized connected via direct USB cable to a physical Ubuntu host (not a Virtual Machine!) and I am having trouble in figuring out the required step to get it recognized as hardware target for XILINX Vivado toolchain.

My details:

Linux Host: Small form server running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS
Vivado, Vitis, Vitis HLS version: 2020.2

All of the XILINX programs work. They need to see the hardware target to program, you know the hardware.

After insertion of of the USB cable, in the operating system we see:

[1135105.564912] usb 1-1.4: new high-speed USB device number 6 using ehci-pci
[1135105.677062] usb 1-1.4: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6010, bcdDevice= 7.00
[1135105.677063] usb 1-1.4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[1135105.677064] usb 1-1.4: Product: JTAG+Serial
[1135105.677065] usb 1-1.4: Manufacturer: Xilinx
[1135105.677066] usb 1-1.4: SerialNumber: 1234-oj1
[1135105.678730] ftdi_sio 1-1.4:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
[1135105.678758] usb 1-1.4: Detected FT2232H
[1135105.679103] usb 1-1.4: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0
[1135105.680470] ftdi_sio 1-1.4:1.1: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
[1135105.680495] usb 1-1.4: Detected FT2232H
[1135105.680735] usb 1-1.4: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB1

Are there any prepatory TCL steps to take?
Is there a installation script that I needed to run when installing the Avnet Minized tutorials?
The tutorials are all for 2019.x versions, and are not current for 2020.2, but I can follow easily and have the Hello World application ready to go.
Need to program it - but hardware target search comes up NIL.

Thanks!

Well, that was quick:

I had previously run the install script, which is described here: https://www.element14.com/community/message/255019/l/minized-board-not-detected-by-vivadosdk#255019
For me the install_drivers script was in /opt/xilinx/Vivado/2020.2/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers

But I had not actually disconnected it and reconnected it so the process had not been done properly. All I had to do is disconnect/reconnect, and I am able to program the FPGA now with basic images.

I can indeed program, but when running the hello world application, I get nothing on the console (Vitis, Vivado).

Is there a guideline on how to use the same USB port for programming, and also UART? Is the instruction in the tutorials #2 incorrect?

Ok, solved it after I found out that as a regular Ubuntu OS user I had to add that specific user into the 'dialout' group as suggested in an ASK UBUNTU post :

Hi there,

Sorry you ran into all of this. A lot of people actually use our VM Install guide as a starting point to setup their hosts, be them virtual or not. Next time, you (and others) can take a look there. All of the issues you brought up (and luckily found answers!) are listed in the VM install guide. Most of the document is setting up the OS/Tools, not the "VM".

You can locate that document under out ZedSupport page:
http://avnet.me/ZedSupport

Choose the version of tools, then inside the VM_Install_Guide folder.

I am glad you were able to locate your answer and you posted a response! I am sure this will help others in the future!
