TE0790 under virtual box Ubuntu Guest

(1/1)

pema:
Hi there,
this is most likely a issue caused by VirtualBox rather than the TE0790. But perhaps someone is experiencing the same issue and knows a work around.
Since I perform most of the development under a virtual machine, I would also like to have access to the JTAG probe under Linux virtual machine.

The problem:
When I connect the TE0790 to the VM I am able to connect through the xsdb or xsct but not able to list the targets( bellow you find the output).

Under Windows Host this does not happens:

Anyone having the same issue? I can of course be always switching between VM and Host  to developt and flash or debug. But like I said is quite tedius to switch between both.

Hi,
as I know this can happens and I didn't have a solution.
Here they recommend to install cable drivers again:
https://support.xilinx.com/s/question/0D52E00006hphZuSAI/jtag-not-working-on-virtual-box-ubuntu-1604?language=en_US

I use AMD(Xilinx) tools with WSL:
https://wiki.trenz-electronic.de/display/PD/AMD+Tools+and+Win10+WSL
In this case there is there is a trick, which maybe also works on virtual box(but I didn't expect it).
Start HW_Manager.exe on WinOS (C:\Xilinx\Vivado\<vivado version>\bin\unwrapped\win64.o\hw_server.exe). In case the server is running, Vivado from WSL automatically connect to the HW server and JTAG is availabe.

Hi John,
many thanks for your reply .
I am posting here a solution that worked for me... for posterity  :-)
All you need is either Xilinx Vivado/Vitis or petalinux in my case.


--- Code: ---$ cd ~/petalinux/2022.2/tools/xsct/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/
$ sudo ./install_drivers
$ sudo ./setup_pcusb
$ sudo su -
$ cd /etc/udev/rules.d
$ sed -i -e 's/MODE=/MODE:=/g' 52-xilinx*.rules
$ exit
$ sudo udevadm control --reload
#optional
$ echo "alias xsct="$HOME"/./petalinux/2022.2/tools/xsct/bin/xsct" >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo "alias xsct="$HOME"/./petalinux/2022.2/tools/xsct/bin/xsdb" >> ~/.bashrc

--- End code ---

Test it.
