It will load Digilent's board files for use in Vivado from the directory they were extracted into. NOTE: The script init.tcl should be used instead of Vivadoinit.tcl for Vivado versions 2016.4 and older. If multiple versions of Vivado from before and after 2016.4 are installed, both scripts should used. Jan 17, 2017  However, as this is a tutorial on getting Vivado successfully downloaded, it would not address running an out-of-the-box demo for any of our boards or troubleshooting those demos. I can add in a section though on ensuring cable drivers are installed correctly, which is a common reason why boards are not being detected correctly in Vivado.

Hi all,

I wonder if somebody might be able to help me with my problem.

I've been trying to get the Digilent Basys 3 board to work with my Linux laptop, but after two days of Googling I'm still completely stuck.

I've installed Vivado and am able to generate a bitstream. I can also copy the bit file to a USB stick and program the board with the stick, so I know the board is working.

However, when connecting the board to my laptop via USB, and selecting JTAG or SPI programming using the jumper, the hardware manager in Vivado simply will not 'see' the board.

I followed the getting started guides:

However, they seem to be Windows focused.

Is there a special USB driver I need to install for Linux? I checked out Digilent Adept, but that seems to be a different program entirely.

The last time I used FPGAs was ~10 years ago, and the programming then was through the COM port direct to JTAG, which felt a lot more intuitive! :-)

If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

Edit: Spelling

Edit 2: Solved. Thanks all. :-)

For anyone reading this in the future, trying to solve a similar problem:

Vivado with the Basys 3 does work in Debian Jessie.

1: Check dmesg. If you see no output when turning the board on, try a different USB slot. If you don't see an output at all, it's probably a USB issue, not Xilinx-specific.

2: If you do see an output, install the Digilent Adept runtime and utilities, available from:

Install them both (either .deb files on run ./install.sh after extracting the tar files)

Then run:

Vivado Cable Drivers

djtgcfg enum

If you see an output similar to

Vivado Install Cable Drivers Linux

then your board is responding.

3: Check that /etc/udev/rules.d/52-xilinx-digilent-usb.rules is installed. If not, run:

/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2016.2/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/install_digilent.sh

4: Reboot and try again from Vivado.
