chipscope initialize chain

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

Hi,

I am very new to zedboard and xilinx platform. Therefore I followed the tutorial provided in Zynq_intro_online_v01.


In Lab7, I tried to bring up chipscope analyzer and clicked "initialize chain" icon in chipscope but I got the following error:

COMMAND: open_cable
INFO: Started ChipScope host (localhost:50001)
INFO: Successfully opened connection to server: localhost:50001 (localhost/127.0.0.1)
INFO: Trying to open Xilinx Platform USB Cable on port USB2
INFO: Trying to open Digilent USB JTAG Cable on port (no port specified)
INFO: Trying to open Xilinx Parallel Cable on port LPT1
INFO: Trying to open Xilinx Parallel Cable on port LPT2
INFO: Trying to open Xilinx Parallel Cable on port LPT3
INFO: Trying to open Xilinx Parallel Cable on port LPT4
ERROR: Failed to detect cable.
Try to open a specific cable from the 'JTAG Chain' menu.



However, if I power reset the board and do not program the bit file in sdk, I can initialize chain properly as follows:

INFO: Started ChipScope host (localhost:50001)
INFO: Successfully opened connection to server: localhost:50001 (localhost/127.0.0.1)
INFO: Successfully opened Digilent USB JTAG Cable
INFO: Cable: Digilent Zed, Port: 0, Speed: 10000000 Hz
INFO: DEV:1 MyDevice1 (XC7Z020) is not configured

therefore I think my license is fine as well as I checked the XLCM.

would anyone please help me ?

owh and I am using xilinx 14.5 on windows 7.

regards,

Agha

    Oh my!. I totally forgot that I have posted this questions since I had given up on Zedboard that time.

    somehow this evening I made an attempt to redo the lab but again stuck at the same point and tried to google and found my question here with beautiful answer!.

    thank you Bryan.

    however, I am still a newbie in FPGA and Zedboard. any idea what project/tutorial should I start to begin with this Zedboard? thanks
