Install Xilinx USB cable drivers for Ubuntu

Using Xilinx tools, iMPACT, Chipscope, ... on an UBUNTU 12.04LTS machine.

Being able to download configuration files in Xilinx FPGAs on Xilinx and othere demo

boards and use tools a iMPACT, Chipscope, and etcetera requires he installation of

drivers. In the past it often was a burden to get this going, in the latest releases of the

software these drivers are delivered with the installation of the software.

I'll provide here the installation procedure on an Ubuntu 12.04LTS equipped machine but

this procedure can also be followed for other Linux distributions.

After installing the Xilinx ISE software on your machine, open a terminal window using the

following key-combination:

[CTRL] + [ALT] + T

The terminal window opens in your home directory. Change directory to where the Xilinx

USB drivers can be found.

cd //Xilinx/

Number>/ISE_DS/common/bin/lin64/digilent

The given path points to the 64-bit drivers, for the 32-bit versions replace "lin64" by "lin".

for the installation on my machine the path looks as:

/usr/Xilinx/14.4/ISE_DS/common/bin/lin64/digilent

Install the USB cable drivers for Xilinx tools

Install the USB cable drivers for Xilinx tools by typing in the terminal:

sudo ./install_

Provide your sudo password and the installation will start. Below is an example of the text

that will appear in the terminal window while the drivers are installed:

Digilent Cable Drivers Installer

Checking for prerequisite: libusb-1.0

.0 is present

Installing component: Digilent Adept Runtime

Adept Runtime Installer

64-bit operating system detected

In which directory should libraries be installed?

[/usr/local/lib64/digilent/adept]

It is possible to specify a directory path here for the installation of the drivers, but normally

you can just accept the default given path.

Installing

Checking to see if is

No existing installation of found.

Installed shared library

"/usr/local/lib64/digilent/adept/.2.10.1"

The terminal screen will show a whole list of this kind of messages while all .so files are

installed or installation is skipped because the libraries are already available.

Checking to see if is

No existing installation of found.

Installed shared library

"/usr/local/lib64/digilent/adept/.2.7.2"

Created symbolic link

"/usr/local/lib64/digilent/adept/"

Created symbolic link

"/usr/local/lib64/digilent/adept/.2"

Successfully installed runtime libraries.

In which directory should system binaries be installed?

[/usr/local/sbin]

The libraries are installed and the question is asked where to install the binaries of the

Xilinx USB cable drivers. Provide a path or accept the default given path by just hitting the

enter/return key.

Remark:

The paths shown in the terminal text examples are those where the drivers are

installed on my machine, it is possible that the install paths/locations are different

for your machine and/or Linux distribution.

Installing

installed "/usr/local/sbin/dftdrvdtch"

Successfully installed system binaries in

"/usr/local/sbin".

In which directory should data files be installed?

[/usr/local/share/digilent/data]

The binaries are installed and now the question is asked where to install the data files.

Provide a pth or accept the given default by hitting enter/return.

Installing

Successfully installed firmware images in

"/usr/local/share/digilent/data/firmware".

Installing JTSC

Successfully installed JTSC device list

Installing CoolRunner

Successfully installed CoolRunner support files in

"/usr/local/share/digilent/data/xpla3".

Installing CoolRunner 2

Successfully installed CoolRunner 2 support files in

"/usr/local/share/digilent/data/xbr".

In which directory should the Adept Runtime Configuration

file be installed? [/etc]

Question asked by the installation flow where to install the runtime configuration file. As

for may programs the default given path is /etc but hen wanted this can be anywere else

by specifying a custom path.

Installing Adept

Successfully installed Adept Runtime configuration

"/etc/".

Installing USB

Successfully installed USB UDEV rules

"/etc/udev/rules.d/".

Installing dynamic

Successfully installed dynamic loader configuration

"/etc/.d/".

Successfully reloaded UDEV rules.

Successfully updated dynamic loader cache.

Successfully installed Adept Runtime.

Successfully installed component: Digilent Adept Runtime

Xilinx and Digilent boards use a FTDI USB/RS232 device for communication and

downloading of configuration files in the FPGA(s) on teh development / demo boards. The

installation program checks if FTDI drivers are already available on the machine and if not

installs them. Ubuntu is default equiped with Silabs USB/RS232 drivers, so the FTDI

drivers will be installed. It is again possible to specify a location for these drivers. I've let

the install tool use the default given location but maybe one wants to install drivers

elsewhere, possibly were the Silabs drivers are installed.

Successfully installed Digilent Cable Drivers

Voila, installation done and ready to be tested. Connect a development board via a USB

cable to your PC and start a tool like iMPACT or Chipscope.

Example for iMPACT

Start iMPACT via the menu, if you installed the menu system as described in another

article on this web page or start iMPACT from the command line.

[CTRL] + [ALT] + T

Source the right Xilinx settings file:

source //Xilinx/

Number>/ISE_DS/

Where is the directory path where the Xilinx tools are installed,

Number> is the version of the Xilinx ISE software installed on your machine, NN = 32 or

64 bit machine and FFF = csh or sh shell used. Then type:

impact

The iMPACT GUI will start and when it asks to automatically detect the JTAG chain,

respond with yes. WHen the drivers are correctly installed the JTAG chain of components

on the used development board will be displayed with icons on the iMPACT canvas.
