problem with programming the fpga on the zedboard

Hi,
I am having problem with my rev D zedboard. i am trying to program the fpga via the jtag port j17 using the supplied usb cable (only one usb cable is supplied which is also used for the uart connection). i have set all the jumper (j7 to j11) correctly to ground. i am going through a zedbook tutorial and have reached the point in sdk to program the fpga via 'xilinx tools' -> program fpga but when i run this i get an error "program FPGA failed". what is wrong?

Hello Saleh,

Windows 10 is not a supported host OS for Vivado at this point. Based on these posts on the Xilinx Community forums it looks like others have run into your cable/programming issue with Windows 10.

You might try posting on the Xilinx Community forums development tools forum to see if anyone has managed to make it work. There are also posts on the Xilinx forums that indicate that there are plans to support Windows 10 in Vivado 2016.x, but they are not specific as to which 2016 release it will be.
