I have a Basys 2 was have a problem with the power supply section, after repair I was unable to download and run VHDL configurations, but the name was missing instead show weir simbols. My question is. Is there a way to reset the name of the card to original name?? Thank you for your replies.

Hello, after leave it for a while and retake a few day ago, the card works again, in short words, the L3 coil had a bad contact with the card so 3.3 voltaje not was availble, after looking for the error, the FPGA and the ROM are able to detect and I was able to write a bitstream. Now the only thing I can not fix is the name in Adept System that show some weird simbols but name of device not. I found a solution in the forum, but I not very good in phyton and the DMGR manual is poor in examples. Can you help me to fix the device name.

Program it using IMPACT in Xilinx software. Also be sure you using external powre supply 3.3 on GND and VCC (20 and 21 pins) because USB cable does not power the CPLD.

Hello, Yes, I tested on other computers, but I have the same result. Also I have another basys2 in better shape. It runs smoth. Also I did an physical inspection. I found a coil L3 blow out, then I replace with other one with unknow value. I had the same result. So I perform a test for voltaje. I found out that the 2.5 V out is missing. I only get .67V. I removed the L3 coil, same result 0.67V. Is there any chance that the 2.5V missing voltaje is the reason for failure???. How do I get replacement for this parts. Is there any support service in order to repair damaged board (I have about 7 u 8 board with diferents kinds of damages) I am in Mexico. Also I tested the board with ISE IMPACT. IMPACT was able to read the serial number on the board, but when I tried to download a program it says id code of the FPGA isn't match. Also I was thinking that the students tried to force download a program with other FPGA specs. What do you think? Regards Luis

Hello, I need help on a Basys2 board, that show incompresible characters when Adept runs at begin. Then I get this when it Initialize Chain (see below). You can see the error on attached file. The board is from an school laboratory and it is use by many students, so nobody know what happend to get this status in the board. ===== Digilent Adept ===== Adept System Rev 2.7 Adept Runtime Rev 2.19 Adept Application Rev 2.4.2 Copyright © 2010 Loading board information...
