Error when downloading with EDK

Terry, Depending on your board with/without the P160 Module attached, your JTAG chain may be different I suggest to run Impact first (with the GUI) to figure out what's the chain content (graphic mode) and then check it against the ./etc/download.cmd file (script file for Impact) After that modify the ./etc/download.cmd file to match the actual chain.

dont try to download with XPS (waste of time) download with impact manually, or if that doesnt work use Chipscope for downloading - for some of the boards we have Chipscope is only thing that works, dont understand why xilinx cant make their download software to work.

I use everyday 4 different xilinx boards and 3 different cables. there are problems all around.

I know XPS uses impact, but when XPS doesnt download impact still may. if impact doesnt download then ChipScope will.

as example download to ML300 using Xilinx cable IV has failure rate 80% with impact and work all OK with Chipscope.

I just have lost trust, so I am trying to use whatever works, changing cables and software until something works. and then use the know good combination of cable and software.

what makes me real sad is that there is no way todo boundary scan with xilinx Parallel cable IV - the last board I designed I needed todo boundary scan (to verify the board) and could not do it as Cable IV is the only one (from those I have) that works with that board.
