problem : UART connection with ZedBoard ?

hello everyone,

i have the same problem like this : http://www.zedboard.org/content/zynq-concepts-tools-and-techniques-zedboard-issues#comment-4723

i use :

Windows 7 ( 64 bits )

Vivado 2013.4 ( the all suite of 14.7 )

for the terminal, first i tried to use the Terminal of Xilinx SDK 2013.4, but the error still aprear,
the problem is USB-UART connection, even i installed Digilent drivers, i change the Terminal to Tera Term, nothing, the same problem :(

for the boot, i try it, it's work :) ( i use the Tera Term )

check this is some screenshot :

http://prntscr.com/3cb0qg

http://prntscr.com/3cb0yl

but when i try to run using the xilinx SDK , check what i get ( even it's work on Tera Term )

http://prntscr.com/3cb17b

this is a response or  TroutChaser ( ZedBoard Forum )

OK, so your problem is not any of the ones discussed in the post you refer to. It looks like you can connect with the USB-UART OK and compile your application. The issue is the JTAG connection to the Zynq. I would look at two things. First, in SDK under "Xilinx Tools" open "Configure JTAG Settings". You probably have that set to 'Digilent USB Cable". On some systems it works better to set this to "Auto Detect". If it is set to "Auto Detect" already then try the "Digilent USB Cable" setting.

The other thing to check is that you have the boot configuration jumpers on the ZedBoard, J7 - J11, set for JTAG operation. They should all be set to '0'.
If this does not correct your issue then create a new forum post detailing the problem. You are more likely to get a response on the forum than a private email to me directly as I am not always in the office to check.

    The USB-UART is what connects to TeraTerm. On ZedBoard, this requires you to install the Cypress drivers.

    The screenshot that you show indicates a JTAG error. ZedBoard has an onboard USB-JTAG circuit that is separate from the USB-UART circuit. It has its own, separate microUSB connector. The USB-JTAG circuit requires the Digilent drivers, which are installed automatically with the Xilinx tools.

    To get the JTAG to work:

    1.   Install the Xilinx tools
    2.   Set the MODE jumpers to JTAG mode
    3.   Plug in the microUSB cable to the JTAG microUSB connector and your PC
    4.   Power on the board

    The USB-UART working in TeraTerm is completely unrelated to getting JTAG to work in SDK.
