JTAG usb vrs Linux not working need help

Former Member
Former Member over 12 years ago

I cannot connect the debugger to the target platform.
.
Specifically, I have both the UART(usb) and JTAG(usb) cables connected, see output of lsusb {below}, it shows the Cypres device (the UART) and the FTDI FT232H the JTAG(usb).
.
I downloaded and believe I have installed the Digilent SW drivers correctly, the install program installed files in: /usr/local/lib64/digilent {and various other places}.
.
The DMESG is reporting the device, but I don't understand why it is being disconnected {see below]
.

    As discussed in your SDK post, I think this issue might be specific to Ubuntu. While Ubuntu is not one of the officially supported operating systems for Xilinx tools ( http://www.xilinx.com/ise/ossupport/index.htm ) there do seem to be users out there making it work. There are posts that detail some of the issues and workarounds that may help, including special Digilent JTAG drivers:

    http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/Install+Xilinx+Tools

    http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Installation-and-Licensing/ISE-12-1-on-Linux-Ubuntu-EDK-does-not-start/td-p/73616

     

    I would also suggest that if you are just starting out to go ahead and begin with the Xilinx Vivado tool suite, as all future examples, tutorials, and tool development will be there vs the ISE/PlanAhead tools.

    One of our forum members, Sven Andersson, has a blog where he goes through the process of building a ZedBoard design. His development platform is Ubuntu running under a virtual machine. He has been successful in installing and using the JTAG drivers in his Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit installation. Here is his post on the forum:

     

    http://www.zedboard.org/content/zynq-design-scratch

     

    And here is a link to his blog: www.zynqfromscratch.com

     

    Let us know how it works for you.
