JTAG-HS3 setup

[ekallal]

Hi, vivado lab edition 2022.1 is not recognizing my new JTAG-HS3 device.  I ran install_digilent.exe.  Is there something else for the setup procedure?

C:\Xilinx\Vivado_Lab\2022.1\data\xicom\cable_drivers\nt64\digilent\install_digilent.exe

Thanks,
Ed

Hi @ekallal,

I'm not familiar with this install_digilent.exe that is apparently with the Lab Edition, so I don't know what it does (as far as I am aware, Digilent did not make this executable), but I'm presuming it operates as the same as installing the Digilent Cable drivers: https://support.xilinx.com/s/article/59128?language=en_US.

Otherwise, I would recommend installing Adept, https://digilent.com/reference/software/adept/start, as that is where Xilinx gets the cable drivers from, so it would be akin to installing from source. The download for Adept will take you to a MyProducts page and ask you to log into the Digilent Cloud; if you have a login for the Digilent store, this will be the exact same login for the cloud.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,
JColvin

P.S. I figure you know this, but just to clarify that Vivado will not be able to target the JTAG HS3 on its own as there is no FPGA on it; I believe it will show up in the Hardware Manager as something to connect to though.
