@JColvinI got it to work! I just forgot to check the box when uninstalling the driver. I was now able to successfully program the Zedboard!

@JColvinI just now tried running those four commands inside of the nt64 directory instead, since I noticed those files were there, but it is still not being detected by the hardware manager: When I plugged in the cable, this is what I see in device manager: I noticed it is not called "Xilinx USB Cable" as you mentioned, however I followed the steps quite carefully so I am not sure why it is still called "Xilinx Embedded Platform USB Firmware Loader".

Hello @JColvin. I am not sure how to follow those steps since the C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2016.1\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\dlc10_win7 directory does not exist for me: Also here is what's inside of the diligent directory: If I try going there in the command prompt: I also tried following the instructions on pg.28 of the Vivado Design Suite User Guide ("Installing Windows Driver"), however it is not clear what to put for %log_dir%. I am not sure where this log directory is supposed to be. I tried both "install_drivers_wrapper.bat" as well as "install_drivers_wrapper.bat %log_dir% %log_dir%" since I was not sure which way was correct. But still it is not working afterward.

I need to use the JTAG header to program the Zedboard, since the MicroUSB connector is physically damaged. I cannot find any documentation or forums about how to use the JTAG connector for programming the FPGA, so I am going to ask for your help. I have a basic design in Vivado for making switch 0 toggle led 0. The bitstream is ready to be sent to the FPGA. However, when I try to connect to the hardware, by clicking "Open target", it is unable to connect. When I try to manually connect: I am using Xilinx Platform Cable USB adapter for connecting the JTAG to the computer's USB input: I have the driver installed, and it appears in my list of devices when plugged in, and disappears if I unplug it, and is up-to-date: I suspect the jumpers may not be configured properly? But again I cannot find clear documentation on how to set this up. This is how mine is set up: Here is some information about my computer: I am using Vivado 2016.1, since that is used in a lot of the tutorials. I think the Diligent tutorial uses 2016.2. It also comes with the Zedboard board file, although I downloaded the one made by Diligent as instructed in the tutorial. I hope I have provided enough information. I appreciate any help!
