Former Member

I have installed xilinx xpc4drvr.ko and it is shown in lsmod.

After connecting the board, it showed the board could be found.

But when using impact, there is no cable that can be found.

What else steps I can try to connect zedboard on centos 7?

    Hi scott7950,

    This forum post might provide some help for you, specifically the permissions on the enumerated device might need some attention.

    http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Installation-and-Licensing/Vivado-2013-3-cable-drivers-installation-problem/td-p/456470

    For example, on my CentOS 7.0 machine, I was having trouble with the ZedBoard USB-UART at first until I found that there was both a permissions problem and a resource contention issue with modem-manager.  These are the steps I used to work around those two problems:

    1) Create system default udev rules to give USB-UART devices sufficient permissions for development users.

    $ sudo cp /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/


    2)  Edit the system default udev rules with vi editor.

    $ sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules


    3)  Add the following lines to 50-udev-default.rules somewhere just after the 'tty' section.

    # relax the permissions just for ttyACM0 used on ZedBoard
    KERNEL=="ttyACM0",              MODE="0666"

    # prevent modem-manager from touching USB-UART device that is a target board
    SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="04b4", ATTR{idProduct}=="0008", MODE="0666", GROUP="dialout", ENV{ID_MM_DEVICE_IGNORE}="1"


    4)  Save the changes to the 50-udev-default.rules file and exit vi editor.

    :wq


    5)  Add your user to the dialout group which gives permission to access USB-UART serial tty devices.

    $ sudo usermod -a -G dialout zedhed

    Also, have you taken a look at Sven Andersson's blog? 

    http://svenand.blogdrive.com/archive/172.html#.VNTZqmjF-Sp

    Sven has a page where he connects to ZedBoard using his Ubuntu virtual machine.

    Regards,

    I tried the following configuration but it didn't work.

    But anyway I found I can use root to access the board and download the code. Thank you.
