(reposting with catchier subject line and some changes...) Hi, We are trying to run the "Virtex4_PPC_Example_9_1" example program from EDK9.1.2 that has TestInterrupt.c routine (timer interrupt driving the LEDs and UART interface displaying the status.) The LEDs on the board appear to flash quickly, but we're unable to speed up or slow down the clock using the 'f' , 's' inputs via the serial port. Software: EDK9.1i on linux 2.6.17, parport jtag, "windrvr6" and "xpc4drvr" drivers and devices all there. We are able to update the bitstream from XPS. We are also able to establish the connection to the virtex-4 Fx12 LC development board, (the message log says so. ) but we are getting the following error: ********************** ERROR:iMPACT:1062 - Can only assign files to devices between positions 1 to 2 ********************** (more of the logs are below.) ********************** Google says nothing about "files to devices between"! We ran "impact" through tje command prompt and tried to down the bitstream, by selecting various combinations of ("download.bit", "system.bit"), "TestInterrupt.elf " and ("system_bd.bmm" and "system.bmm"). Has anyone ever seen this? Any suggestions? thanks and regards vijay ********************************************* More detailed message ********************************************* impact -batch etc/download.cmd Release 9.1.02i - iMPACT J.33 Copyright (c) 1995-2007 Xilinx, Inc.

xps error never seen before: google reveals nothing; help!

Updating the procesor bitstream? The message just tells you that there are only two devices on your JTAG chain (the Virtex and some flash memory) and you obviously have tried to program some other device. I guess you tried to upload an application image to your PPC inside the FPGA, but perhaps your design does not include the JTAG interface for that one? Greetings, Torsten

May I know how can I modify the download script , to effect the downloading bitstream from xps itself. what is the other procedure if any to download . which one might be easier to understand and implement for me as a neophyte. thanks and regards vijay
