Cannot find Board or Programming cable

[Tommy0295]

Hello,

i tried using this project for Programming a custom artix-7 board via a J-Link Programming Cable. I installed it in my msys2 with command "pacman -S mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-openFPGALoader"

when i try to program a arty-a7 board, an error occurs: $ openFPGALoader -b arty_a7_a35t ./FPGA_Programming/test.bit Error: cannot find board 'arty_a7_a35t'

As well when i try to program my custrom board via the J-Link Cable. $ openFPGALoader -c JLink --vid 1366 --pid 0101 ./FPGA_Programming/test.bit error : JLink not found

Do i need to do something that the USB devices are reachable for the msys2 shell? Unfortunatley I have poor understanding of this Linux/OS stuff :(

Thanks for your time

There is a typo:

• arty_a7_a35t -> arty_a7_35t
• JLink -> jlink or jlink_base

Unlike windows, GNU/Linux and openFPGALoader are case sensitive ;-)

Thank you so much for the fast answer <3

The error message changed now. It doesnt make a difference if i connect the cable to the PC. So i assume the cable is not connected :(

$ openFPGALoader -b arty_a7_35t --vid 0403 --pid 6010 ./FPGA_Programming/test.bit Cable VID overridden Cable PID overridden unable to open ftdi device: -3 (device not found) JTAG init failed with: unable to open ftdi device

$ openFPGALoader -c jlink ./FPGA_Programming/test.bit Error: no device found JTAG init failed with: can't find compatible device

Do i need to pass some other parameter to the program?

Could you try using sudo? If your user has no write access to the device you can't use the JTAG interface. These errors are classic when the user is not in the required group

Any news?
