Clyde Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hello, If I want to use Vivado under linux and program the FPGA, is it a requirement to have an external JTAG programmer such as this device: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/digilent-inc/6003-410-011/1286-1100-ND/4090119 or is it possible to program via the USB port like I do with Windows?

JColvin Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hi @Clyde, If you are using a Digilent made board, you can program through the USB port as the Digilent boards already include the necessary circuitry that is included in the external JTAG programmer that you linked.

Clyde Posted April 16, 2020 Author Share Posted April 16, 2020 Worked fine. There was another post with instructions on loading the driver which worked perfectly Here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JColvin Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 That's correct; the driver installation script that comes with the Vivado download does not work correctly, so to get the Xilinx XUP USB JTAG Programmer to work, those other instructions need to be followed. I'm glad to see you were able to find the material you needed. Thanks, JColvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello,
If I want to use Vivado under linux and program the FPGA, is it a requirement to have an external JTAG programmer such as this device:

or is it possible to program via the USB port like I do with Windows?
