Not Detecting USB A to Micro A cable on Eclypse Z7 board

[Jerin James]

Hi,

  We are using Eclypse Z7. For debugging purpose, tried connecting USB A to Micro A cable and Jumper(JP5) is kept at JTAG mode. But device is not detecting at Vivado HW manager. We are using Vivado Lab edition 2023.2. Is it required to enable all FPGA banks for device detection. Please guide.

Hi @Jerin James,

The Eclypse Z7 board does need to have the 12 V external power attached and board powered on before the corresponding FTDI chip and the downstream Zynq device to be detected by the Vivado Hardware Manager.

Presuming you have it powered, is the Digilent Adept software, https://digilent.com/reference/software/adept/start, able to see the Eclypse Z7? (I'm asking specifically for Adept since the Vivado software suite uses the drivers that come from Adept, so this is the effective equivalent of installing the drivers from source).

If Adept does not see the board either, what do you see in the Windows Device Manager / kernel output with dmesg (depending on the OS)? An example of what you should be seeing in Windows is in this post, and a similar one for Linux is here.

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks,
JColvin
