    Chipscope is an ISE tool add-on. Vivado has its own ILA and VIO capabilities built in. For Win10 users I suggest sticking with Vivado. Since the Zedboard is the 'old man' ** among FPGA platforms, the good news is that you can use earlier, and easier to install, versions of Vivado. The latest versions of Vivado probably aren't the best choice for older boards and devices anyway.

    ** Nothing wrong with being old... if you are good at what you do and this applies to the venerable Zedboard. Just be aware of the board version changes relative to tools and using code examples in the wild.

    Thanks for reply. Getting Vivado installed on Windows is one of the changeling task. I was referring to ZynQ Book Tutorials to get started but they were using Vivado 2014. 2014 is too old so decided to install 2016. But installer was stuck with Visual C++ Redistributable.  I tried to repair and many other things but no luck so using 2018. I am little bit old school guy. Used ISE 9, 10 kind of tools then moved to Altera's Advanced FPGA and jumping back to Vivado after long time.

    Zedboard has got updated but looks like Master XDC is behind. E.g. LED LD9 for PS on D5 (MIO7) is listed in document and schematic but on github XDC file it is missing or I am referring to wrong page. Zedboard XDC.

    Hi @Kiran Nevaskar,

    The Chipscope Pro voucher is not included with the Zedboard or at least is not listed anywhere on the Digilent store page, https://store.digilentinc.com/zedboard-zynq-7000-arm-fpga-soc-development-board/ or Avnet's product listing page. It looks like this is a holdover from the official hardware user guide from Avnet (which still lists this incorrect detail based on the latest hardware user guide that is now hosted on Element14). My understanding is that there is not any voucher added specifically for the Zedboard as it is able to be used with the free Vivado WebPACK edition.

    I asked one of our design engineers about the Rev F and they let me know there should not be any changes that should affect customer development. I posted the schematic to the Zedboard Resource Center which also lists changes that were made. The master .xdc will not have changed for this revision of the board.

    Thanks,
    JColvin

     

    Thanks JColvin for clarifying and updating page with revised schematic.

    I bought board from Element14 Elemen14 Zynq Zedboard Page

    They have listed Chipscope Pro voucher so I was confused.

    Regards,

    Kiran
