Xilinx not updating.

[ube]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a CE v2 running and I can't seem to be able to run flash_xilinx, I keep getting this error. So.. Hilfe?

Code: Select all

root@cosmosex:~/s# /ce/update/flash_xilinx xilinx.xsvf
XSVF Player v5.01, Xilinx, Inc.
XSVF file = xilinx.xsvf
ERROR:  TDO mismatch and exceeded max retries
ERROR at or near XSVF command #9.  See line #9 in the XSVF ASCII file.
Execution Time = 0.2 seconds

I have no experience with the CosmosEx, but I know the Xilinx XSVF Player that is used here rather well. Try increasing the verbosity by running...
flash_xilinx -v 1 xilinx.xsvf
... or even more verbose output by using values 2 to 4.

Afaik the CosmosEx has different variants of the Xilinx CPLD which require different firmware. The verbose output will show us whether that's the reason for the failure.

Ah, thanks.

Guess it's time for some jookie-help..

It's as I suspected: The firmware you're trying to flash is for an XC9536XL ("TDO Expected = 0xf9602093") but you have a XC9572XL ("TDO Captured = 0x59604093"). You need to find the right firmware.

PS: Looking at Jookie's download page, these should be called xlnx2a.xsvf or xlnx2s.xsvf, depending on whether you have the ACSI or SCSI version.

Ah. Crap. :/ Then it's not the Xilinx that's the problem with this CosmosEx. :/ the a or s version is flashed when the A/S header is set/unset.

Managed to run the flasher anyways. Back to the drawing board.


Big thanks!
