Trying to program a Alpha-Data 9h7 board with FPGA vu37p using commands below. 

%  djtgcfg -d JtagSmt2NC prog -f my.bit  -i 0 --verbose
Programming device. Do not touch your board. This may take a few minutes...
ERROR: failed to program device with file my.bit

dadutil is used for device discovery and changing device settings
djtgcfg is used for configuring the FPGA on Digilent System boards
dsumecfg is used for writing, erasing, and reading the flash memory on the NetPFGA-SUME board

We(Digilent)  do not provide a general purpose flash programmer. For that you will need to utilize hardware manager in Vivado.

Hello,

It appears that you got your initial post resolved separately by getting the appropriate rules installed for your system.

Regarding your last post, this is correct that the Digilent Adept system does operate as a general purpose flash programmer and that you would need to use Xilinx's system tools (such as the Hardware Device Manager in Vivado).

Thanks,
JColvin
