cemiller4 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'm a new user to linux, papilio, arduinio. I've got the Zap GUI running but when I go to tools->Serial Port I only see socket:tcp/7263. I'm missing the two serial ports the quick start quide says I should see? I downloaded the 64-bit rxtx file suggested in a previous help topic which allowed the GUI to start. I'm using Linux Mint 17. The Papilio Pro is running on my linux system because I can compile VHDL on Xilinx ISE and download using the Papilio loader. I can use "dmesg | grep tty" to see the FTDI serial ports come and go as I unplug the Papilio Pro. I get message "FTDI USB Serial Device ... attached to ttyUSB0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hmmmm, Can you try to run the ZAP IDE with sudo and see if that makes a difference? I never tried under Mint but if it is showing up with a lsusb and in dmesg then I would expect it to work... Does the Arduino IDE detect them? It should be the same code base... Jack.

cemiller4 Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Running ZAP with sudo seems to work. I did it two different ways with similar results.1. sudo -isource ftdi_users.sh./zap 2. sudo ./zap I opened the Blink example and did the verify. When I click the "Upload" button I get a message in orange "Cannot get programmer version, aborting". I'll do some more experiments/trials next weekend to see if I can make more progress. The GUI seems to be working on Linux Mint17 with the only issue being that when you select an item (i.e. dev/ttyUSB1 or Papilio Programmer) the description is blanked out. I don't have the Arduinio IDE installed. This is the first time I've used anything related to Arduinio. My interest in this was based off the "Build a SoC Over Lunch" article by Colin O'Flynn in Circuit Cellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Gassett Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Great, glad you got it working. Please keep in mind that I'm working hard on the much improved version called DesignLab. ZAP was the proof of concept and DesignLab is going to be the first stable release and should be ready in the next month or so. Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvieboy Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 cemiller4: Two ports should show up, ttyUSB0 and ttyUSB1. You need to use ttyUSB1 for programming. That should work. The error you posted is not related to ability to open the USB port, rather opening the wrong one. Additionally, you will need to program ZPUino firmware first using papilioloader or a similar tool.

cemiller4 Posted November 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Thanks for the tips on programming the ZPUino using Papilioloader. I'm able to connect and download now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
