JTAG on arty board and virtualbox

[swat]

Hi all,

I wondered if anyone could help. I'm trying to program up the Arty board on Ubuntu 14.04 running in a virtualbox on Windows 10.

I can get the board to program up through Windows directly, but not via the Ubuntu virtual machine.

I get the following debug info:

May 15 18:36:36 simon-VirtualBox kernel: [10042.685578] usb 1-1: new high-speed USB device number 11 using ehci-pci

May 15 18:36:37 simon-VirtualBox mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 11 was not an MTP device

but try as I might - I can't get the hardware manager to pick up the JTAG. I'm wondering if it something to do with the last eror?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Simon

Hi, I will recommend you to avoid using Virtual Box. However, if you really want to use it, you can follow the instruction https://github.com/Architech-Silica/Installing-Vivado-2015.1-Ubuntu-14.04.2-64b Xilinx also has Vivado Linux version
