ZedBoard Drivers

[Emilio Armas]

Hiya !
I recently received shipment of my Avnet FPGA Zedboard. The Zedboard FPGA development platform is using a Cypress CY7C64225 USB to UART interface chip. On the setup guide that Avnet provides, there is a section on configuring the USB driver for the CY7C64225.

The link is as follows https://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/microsoft-certified-usb-uart-driver
This link is supposed to take me to the microsoft certified USB UART driver, but instead, as Cypress is now part of Infineon, takes me to some other configuration utility instead that is NOT what is supposed to be used (the Infineon USB to UART config utility, there is no setup.exe file).

I haven't seen any recent forum posts about people needing to get drivers for the CY7C64225, and I'm all out of luck from contacting Infineon and Avnet.

As a result of the links being redirected, the documentation provided for this Zedboard isn't up to date and I can't get access to the driver I need. All I need to do is to be able to install a proper USB driver on this Windows 10 PC for the CY7C64225.

Thanks for reading.

Hi @Emilio Armas,

As you have noted there isn't a lot of material available. The most I have been able to find is some of the Forum threads here:

I also found in my downloads folder a couple of files that might be helpful, though I haven't been able to verify them as I have not personally had a Zedboard that is not able to be recognized. The other thing I would check for would be that the correct micro USB is being connected to (there are separate ports for JTAG and USB-UART).

Thanks,
JColvin
