JTAG-SMT1 drivers for Vivado (Linux)

[Juan]

Hi, I have a custom board with JTAG-SMT1. Vivado is not recognizing the FPGA, so I wonder if I need to install any driver for this.

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and Vivado 2015.2.1

Thanks

Hi @Juan,

If you are using the JTAG-SMT1, I believe you will need to manually install the cable drivers. This is detailed in the Installing Cable Drivers section of the Vivado 2015.2 Release notes, available on Xilinx's website here: https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/sw_manuals/xilinx2015_2/ug973-vivado-release-notes-install-license.pdf.

Thanks,
