Vivado doesn't detect TE0802 dev board.

[Alex H]

Hi,

I'm following the getting started guide for the TE0802 dev board.

I've installed Vivado 2022.2 on a Ubuntu 2022.4 VM, created a  project using the

Code Select Expand

_create_linux_setup.sh script and opened it again using the

Code Select Expand

vivado_open_existing_project_guimode.sh script.

According to the FTDI page, the VCP drivers should be available from Ubuntu 11.10 and later. When I have the board connected to my machine and passed through to the VM I can find it using the lsusb command.

alexander@alexander-virtual-machine:~/Developer/TE0802_02_240/test_board$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0e0f:0006 VMware, Inc. Virtual Keyboard
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0403:6010 Future Technology Devices International, Ltd FT2232C/D/H Dual UART/FIFO IC
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
In vivado the hardware server is connected but cant find any devices.

Running the TE::VLAB::hw_open_jtag command in the TCL console returns No matching hw_devices were found

Is the lsusb result correct or should the device show up with a different name?

What could be the reason why vivado doesn't recognize the hardware target?

[Alex H]

Running sudo dmesg | grep tty in the VM says that two FTDI USB Serial Device converters are attached to ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1.

Hi Alex,

sorry for the late reply... as discussed yesterday in person:


There should be only one serial console when license is correct.


Please see here for methods of identification. (might be best to shortly check this on windows)

If the license is indeed missing (for whatever reason) then you can use this method to fix this yourself:

I hope that works. If not please contact us via support email and we will have a look at it.

Hi Markus,

thanks for your help! I've connected the board to my Windows machine and tried the methods of checking the license. Windows does indeed show only one COM port and the USB View application finds a Digilent USB Device with the serial number starting with 251633..

Therefore I think I can conclude that the license in fact valid?

In Vivado though, the Hardware Server still finds no hardware target. I've tried "auto connect" multiple times.

Greetings
Alex
