[Genesys 2 Kintex-7 FPGA Development Board]

Zygot-san and JColvin-san,

Many thanks for your clear answers and comments about the XC7K325T-license "sharing" matter.

I will take your advice and will contact with AMD/Xilinx to get additional information about this matter.

Again, thank you for your continued support.

Is one Kintex-7, XC7K325T (Genesys2) license also applicable for my business-colleague by “add user” on [Product Licensing] as a “full administrate”?

I mean,

I purchased Genesys2, Digillent (Kintex-7, XC7K325T) on Oct, 2021, and I registered a license with the voucher for a node-locked device license in the box.

Recently, I added user for my business-colleague as a “full administrate” by entering his e-mail-address.

Then, my business-colleague obtained some node-locked-licenses and loaded them to his Vivado-2020.2.

However, his Vivado does not work for “Generate bitstream” with error-message of [Common 17-345: A valid license was not found for feature 'Synthesis' and/or device 'xc7k325t'....].

Actually, “OEM Kintex-7 FPGA XC7K325T Vivado Design Edition Voucher” is listed on the [Manage Licenses] in my [Product Licensing], however that is not listed in the colleague’s [Product Licensing].

Also, License name of “7K325T” is listed on the [License Manager (View License Status)] in my VIVADO, however, that is not listed in the colleague’s VIVADO.

Please let me know how to solve this issue (for normal working without any errors of bitstream-generating on the colleague’s VIVADO.).

I would appreciate if you could give me your kind advice.

Hi, JColvin-san,

Thanks again for your detail comments.

> - Is the Genesys 2 powered on with a 12V power supply?

Yes.

>- Did you install the cable drivers as part of the Vivado download (it was a checkable box); if not you can install them

Since I did not install it, I installed it this time.

Install-file: “install_digilent.exe”  on  C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2020.2\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\digilent

Install to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Digilent (see attached figs. )

> In the Windows Device manager, when you connect the Genesys 2 to the host computer, does "USB Serial Converter" appear in the with a Bus Reported Device Description of "Digilent USB Device", much like in the screenshot on this post,

“Digilent Adept USB Device” (<-- “Not Digilent USB Device”) are shown in the USB Serial Converter A and B, respectively (see attached figs.).

However, still same error-message of

[Labtools 27-2269] No devices detected on target localhost:…………

is shown.

 

I would appreciate your advice to solve it.

Thanks.

Hi, JColvin-san,

Many thanks for your detail comments.

Actually, I e-mail received lic-file from Xilinx. (I had not noticed that mail because that was posted in a mail-folder which I don't usually use it.)

The lic-file was copied to my Vivado-PC and finally, I success to generate a bitstream-file.

However, I can not program the bitstream-file to my Genesys2.

I am trying to program by USB (JTAG).

My PC is USB-cable connected to the JTAG-port (J17). (as set the JP4=USB, JP5=JTAG).

After execute [Open Target], [Auto connect], error is occurred and I can not program it.

[Labtools 27-2269] No devices detected on target localhost:…………

Also, device is not detected (Number of devices: 0)

I would appreciate it if you could give the solutions about this issue.

 

Thanks.

[Which versions of Vivado support the zybo Z7?]

Hi, zygot_san,

 

I entered the license No. (xxxx-xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxx) of Genesys2-voucher into “Have a Voucher to Redeem?”, then push [Redeem Now] on the Product Licensing page, XILINX.

However, the synthesis-error of [Common 17-345] is still occurred.

Please let me know the solutions about this issue.

I did not do the “3. Generate a FLEX license file for your product.” Please let me know this procedure, if my issue is related not to do this procedure.

 

Thanks.

Hi, zygot_san,

> When you purchased the board you should have received a voucher for a node-locked device license in the box. The license is good for the K325T n other packages as well.

Many thanks for your comments.

The board will be delivered soon. I will try it.

[Which versions of Vivado support the zybo Z7?]

Genesys2 (xc7k325t) does not work on Vivado 2020.2.

I would appreciate it if you could give a comment to solve this issue.
