Xilinx Multilink Connection not working
Hi
I have a Xilinx Multilink cable that I would like to use to communicate with a Xilinx VirtexII that is hosted on a PCI Mezzanine board. I connected the PCI Mezzanine board with the cable following the guidelines in the User Guide for Xilinx Impact. In other words, I connected the GND, VCC, TDO, TDI, TCK and TMS. There is a green led on the Multilink cable, which is not flashing although power supply should be provided by the PCI card. The PCI card itself is working, so I dont know if I have to switch into a special kind of mode so that the JTAG interface is enabled? Does anyone have any experience with that? Or is the Multilink cable probably broken? Thanks for any assistance! Philipp |
Re: Xilinx Multilink Connection not working
Alright, at least the multilinx cable is working, so the LED flashes. I
connected the GND, VCC, TDO, TDI, TCK and TMS. Still I cant get a connection over the serial port which is quite weird. I used automatic detection but I get the following error blog from Impact. Is there an issue with the drivers? In addition, I use two DB25 adapters in order to connect the cable to the board. Shouldnt be an issue either, is that correct? iMPACT Version: H.38 iMPACT log file started on 2007/11/27 17:22:31 // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref UserLevel:NOVICE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref MessageLevel:DETAILED // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref ConcurrentMode:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref UseHighz:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref ConfigOnFailure:STOP // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref StartupCLock:AUTO_CORRECTION // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref AutoSignature:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref KeepSVF:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref svfUseTime:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref UserLevel:NOVICE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref MessageLevel:DETAILED // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref ConcurrentMode:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref UseHighz:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref ConfigOnFailure:STOP // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref StartupCLock:AUTO_CORRECTION // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref AutoSignature:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref KeepSVF:FALSE // *** BATCH CMD : setPreference -pref svfUseTime:FALSE GUI --- Boundary-Scan Mode selected // *** BATCH CMD : setMode -bs GUI --- Auto connect to cable... // *** BATCH CMD : setCable -port auto AutoDetecting cable.

Although it solved my problem but many of the usb devices (including my mouse) stopped functioning after applying this patch. 2- Try changing the PC-connectivity of multilinx (from USB to serial). Hope this helps. Regards /MH |
