FTDI Driver update

[Vamsi Valavala]

Hi,

I am Vamsi Valavala from HCL Technologies, We are using the Digilent JTAG HS2 for our R&D with the below driver it is not responding, so do we have any updated versions.

Driver Provider FTDI

Driver Version2.8.28.0

Hi @Vamsi Valavala,

I am not certain what you mean by not responding; do you mean the JTAG HS2 is not detected Xilinx's Vivado software or something else? Are you able to detect the JTAG HS2 through Digilent's Adept software, https://digilent.com/reference/software/adept/start?

Thanks,

It is detecting but we are unable to operate it (i.e unlocking JTAG is not happening). Do we have any specific application interface for Digilent JTAG HS2.

Hi @Vamsi Valavala,

Is the JTAG HS2 only being detected by the Windows operating system or can Digilent's Adept system, https://digilent.com/reference/software/adept/start, also detect the JTAG HS2?

I'm not at my computer to confirm this, but I believe Xilinx's Vivado software will not detect the JTAG HS2 on its own because there is no FPGA to configure so it will not show up individually in the Vivado Hardware Manager. Any FPGA/SoC devices should show up downstream of the JTAG HS2 though (with the caveat that the JTAG HS2 is not able to do some debug operations for SoC devices).

Thanks,
