New Analog Discovery 2 and Ubuntu

[Dwayne]

Hello, my wife just bought me an Analog Discovery 2 for my birthday, and am attempting to set it up in Ubuntu.  I am running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit on an Intel i7, and installed Adept runtime 2.16.5 x86 64-bit, Adept utilities 2.2.1 x86 64 and WaveForms 3.3.5 x86 64-bit.

When I launch WaveForms it does not detect the device.  When I run dadutil  enum it states no devices found, but lsusb shows:

Bus 003 Device 099: ID 0403:6014 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT232H Single HS USB-UART/FIFO IC

There is allot of information on setting up in Windows, but I have been unable to locate much in regards to Linux.  Are there any resources for using the Adept utilities, WaveForms and setting up in Linux?

Hello,

1. Please try to reboot and reconnect the device.

Did you have Adept Runtime installed from targz or have some Xilinx tools installed earlier ?
This could be in conflict with the DRB/RPM runtime installation.

2. Try reinstalling the Adept Runtime and rebooting/reconnecting.

3. Uninstall it and try with the targz setup.

attila,

I tried rebooting and reconnecting, no luck.  I had no previous version installed.  I initially installed the tar files for Adept, the utilities and waveforms rpm.  I then read a forum post that the tar files may not install properly, and to try the deb or rpm files.  So I then tried the rpm files, but there was no script for installing them.  I copied the files into their respective folders.

I have tried to uninstall it all, but do not know if I have located all of the files.  I will try reinstalling,

Ubuntu uses DEB files for installing programs as it is based off of Debian. RPM files are used on distributions that are based on Red Hat. As such you should use the .deb file to install Waveforms.

BKallaher, I thought so, but the descriptions led me to believe the rpm files were for x86 machines and the deb files were for AMD.  I will install the deb files.  Thanks!

BKallaher, that worked perfectly.  AD2 is up and running.  Quite impressive from my first quick tests.  Thanks again!
