FPGA ZYBO Programming failure

[edwar64896]

Hi. Salient facts follow...

1) Newbie to FPGA but fairly savvy with linux, embedded (arduino) etc.

2) Linux UBUNTU 14.04.03

3) Vivado 2016.2 webPack / SDK

 

Problem - Can't program the FPGA from either SDK or Vivado. hw-server can't see the target, although I can see it in dmesg coming up on ttyUSB0 and 1

[ 1548.800018] usb 1-3: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci-pci
[ 1548.937650] usb 1-3: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6010

[ 1548.943688] usb 1-3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB1

4. Permissions updated on ttyUSB ports
 as I am not running vivado as root.

medwards@UBUNTU14:/dev$ ls -al ttyU*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Jul 31 02:42 ttyUSB0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root dialout 188, 1 Jul 31 02:42 ttyUSB1

Have tried running cse server as well.

 

*** Vivado does not appear to be detecting the target.

I have a successful bitstream to program...

 

any ideas on the way forward here?

 

Thanks,

 

Mark.

Hello,

Could you please confirm that the board is powered on correctly and that it is correctly recognized by the computer and the FTDI driver is installed? 

If so, then a possible solution would be to try reinstalling the cable drivers. I believe the solution for Linux will be found here:

Let us know if this fixes your issue.
