Hello everyone and happy holidays.
But for me, I am stuck with something that I think is not working. Ive got an XUP virtex2 pro board from digilent. I have also read that the board contains an embedded USB platform downloader and that this JTAG downloader should be compatible with chipscope. In my case, I went on and tried it with the evaluation version of chipscope that Xilinx is giving online.
Impact reports properly the JTAG chain and enumerates properly the three components in that chain, through the platform usb cable. I tried to download a bitfile to the board and it works very well. But there are two bugs that I noticed.
When I try to do a readback of the XCF32 configuration memory, impact blocks. When I try to use chipscope, it fails and does not detect any devices.
I think i tried everywhere for a solution, on xilinx website, here, and on google.
Now, as far as i remember, there was a point when impact did an update of the firmware for the platform usb's CPLD.
My questions are:
Does xilinx provides a link to the latest firmware? Is XUP V2Pro 's platform USB compatible with chipscope 7.1? Are there any issues with these two systems? Finally, can anyone suggest me a solution. If anyone has got the same problems?
Thanks guys JA
