Im so amazed by these devices. im finding it a challenge to have a final version of my microblaze… i have the Au ver2 and even a first batch Pt. but now im just being thorough and going back to my original nightmare and making that work… but i cant use vivado direct with the uart like the other version 2 boards. what is a dunce proof way to update my firmare? is that what it needs?
To make the boards show up in Vivado’s hardware manager, you can reflash the FTDI EEPROM.
See this post for the command to use No Devices Detected with Vivado Hardware Manager - #5 by alchitry
The program_ftdi
program is part of a Vivado installation.
The V2 boards already have the extra EEPROM data.
