Cannot connect 2014.4 SDK to zedboard on linux

Former Member

I'm trying to follow the tutorial:

  http://zedboard.org/course/developing-zynq%C2%AE-7000-all-programmable-soc-software-vivado-20133

And all is well until lab 5 and I can't connect to
the zedboard. I'm using 2014.4 SDK on Ubuntu 14.04.
For good or bad I've installed the drivers from

  /opt/Xilinx/SDK/2014.4/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/install_drivers

Below is the output from dmesg and we see ttyACM0 and ttyUSB0 setup:

But for the life of me I can't figure out how to connect the SDK to
these devices. Any help appreciated!!

    I followed the instructions of Sven Andersenu2019s blog Zynq design from scratch. Part 13
    (http://svenand.blogdrive.com/archive/172.html#.VHe8Verd-90).
    and installed the Adept 2 runtime and utilities
    (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,66,828&Prod=ADEPT2).
    I grabbed the u201Clinux taru201D files to my home Downloads diretory and untaru2019d them
    (tar -xvf xx) and as Sven advised I installed them as suggested by the install script
    to their default locations. I didnu2019t install plugin for ISE which I donu2019t have and
    is now deprecated. Also I didnu2019t install the 52-digilent-usb.rules
    to /etc/udev/rules.d as it was already there, probably from the sdk or vivado install.

    I then ran udevadm to reinit and tried the u201Cdjtgcfg enumu201D:

    wink@ssi-primary:~/Downloads$ djtgcfg enum
    Found 1 device(s)

    Device: Zed
        Product Name:   Digilent Zed
        User Name:      Zed
        Serial Number:  210248570449

    But the u201Cdjtgcfg init -d Zedu201D didnu2019t work:

    wink@ssi-primary:~/Downloads$ djtgcfg init -d Zed
    ERROR: unable to init JTAG, err code=3    << Something like this


    So I rebooted and guess what it worked!!

    wink@ssi-primary:~/Downloads$ djtgcfg init -d Zed
    Initializing scan chain...
    Found Device ID: 23727093
    Found Device ID: 4ba00477

    Found 2 device(s):
        Device 0: ARM_DAP
        Device 1: XC7Z020


    I was then able to complete step 7 of experiment 1 "Program the FPGA", of lab 5, Yea!

    Next was experiment 2 where we run the Hello_Zynq app. Here 14.4 is different from the
    vivado 13.3 and rather than an u201CInitializationu201D tab there is a u201CTarget Setupu201D tab which
    was already populated with ps7_init.tcl, so I skipped step 3. And then step 4 didnu2019t
    work because the options for the STDIO configuration only had /dev/ttyS0 or JTAG and
    I needed /dev/ttyACM0.

    So I fired up minicom and saw the Hello World output, finally.

    $ sudo minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -b 115200 -8 -o
