Unable to run Hello World Simulation due to error: "could not find FPGA device for connection 'Local' "

[Ali_a]

Hey, we are working on a senior design project and to set up a xilinx zeboard we are looking to upload the hello world on to the zinq700. There is something wrong with the UART drivers and were getting this error above. Also pictured below. When we uninstall the driver that claims to be intsalled when we connect the device, and reinstall it. However the UART light remains yellow and ultimately shuts off as soon as we connect the comm port through the sdk, it the LED shuts off. Does anyone have any clue about this issue?

Hi @Ali_a,

This sort error usually appears for the Zedboard when you are only connected to the UART port (J14) and not the PROG port (J17) since these two ports are separated on the Zedboard.

Thanks,
