Hello,
I am using Xilinx EDK 7.1 and ml310 development board from Xilinx. I
have fedora core 2 OS on my PC.

I have problem downloading design onto the fpga.I use minicom to
connect to the ml310 board. It does connect at 9600 8N1 parameters . I
get the following prompt in the minicom window :

Enter Desired System ACE CF Configuration <0-7>.
   0: ACE-loader.
   1: Linux w/PCI.
   2: VxWorks w/PCI.
   3: QNX Demo.
   4: Linux EDK Base Build.
   5: VxWorks EDK Base Build.
   6: User Configuration A.
   7: User Configuration B.

select :




But when I try to download the design from my XPS window it gives me
error saying
cable connection failed .It does not connect ot the board from the xps
window?
What could be the problem?

Thanks,
Nitesh

You will need a JTAG cable such as the
Parallel-IV or Platform USB cable
to download the bit file from within EDK/XPS. In general, the uart
cannot be used to download a bitstream.

Hi Paul ,
I was able to correct the problem.I downloaded the windrv6 drivers from
jungo.com and it worked.
Thanks,
