vanox Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm trying to use a Papilio Pro under ubuntu 12.04 LTS, with Xilinx ISE 14.6. The papilio loader won't be able to access the board, and the board itself wouldn't show up with a lsusb command. I found bits and pieces on the net about FTDI drivers and udev files, but I'm a bit lost... could anyone point me in the right direction?For a start, how do I check if I have the right FTDI drivers installed? Thank you very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Hmmm, I've never had to install any drivers in Ubuntu for the Papilio Pro to show up with a lsusb. All that is required is to link the libftdi library when papilio-prog is compiled... Can you try to use a different USB cable, different USB port, another computer etc? Jack.

vanox Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have tried a different cable and all the usb ports on my laptop, with no luck. I can try a different computer with windows on it. Can you confirm that the pre-loaded bit file is the same as the "quickstart bit file", so that if the USB connectionis ok I should be able to see the ASCII table output? Thanks,Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yes, you should be seeing ASCII table output from the pre-loaded bit file which is the quickstart bit file with a memory test. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanox Posted October 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hi again!I've installed the drivers on my window XP computer, and the situation was not better: nothing happens when I plug the Papilio into any of the us ports (with 2 different cables).I suspect that this is a hardware problem.Is there a way to check if the FTDI chip is working (against the hp that the problem is just a damaged usb female connector)?The RX and TX LED never flashed on my board...I have access to a multimeter, but not to a scope.

Puskyer Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Can you post your lsusb from ubuntu 12.04? I am using the same configuration and it works.See my posts under http://forum.gadgetfactory.net/index.php?/topic/1764-new-to-this-tech/Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hello vanox, It sounds like a faulty board, the Quickstart code is loaded to the board at the factory as a test to verify all board functionality. If you apply power and see that the odd numbered pins are blinking then that means that the FT2232 chip was working long enough at the factory to pass testing. It should also be outputting an ASCII table on the serial port. It would be helpful to know if the odd pins are blinking or not, but most importantly we need to get you a replacement board. Can you send us an email to support@gadgetfactory.net with a reference to this forum thread and we will get you a new board out right away? Thanks,Jack.
