ARTY not recognised by Vivado Hardware Manager!

[Leon Heller]

I've synthesised and generated the bitstream OK for the ARTY GPOI demo, but when I try to connect to the board using the Hardware Manager I get the following error message:

• [Labtoolstcl 44-26] No hardware targets exist on the server [TCP:localhost:3121] Check to make sure the cable targets connected to this machine are properly connected and powered up, then use the disconnect_hw_server and connect_hw_server commands to re-register the hardware targets.

I've tried different USB ports with the same result.

Is the board faulty?

Hi Leon,

Not necessarily. Sometimes the issue is with the Vivado cable drivers or even the USB cable itself. Check out this other forum post for some more information on this.

Let me know if you have any more questions,

Thanks,
