You need sudo on the machine to install the driver. This needs to be done on the machine where the KCU1500 lives.

NOTE: every time the KCU is programmed via jtag or pcie, the computer must be powercycled. #now vivado hardware manager will see the kcu1500 board.

Larry has some slides on how to program the flash chips (mt25qu512) on the KCU1500 via USB/JTAG. $TOP/cameralink-gateway/firmware/targets/ClinkFebPgp2b_1ch/images/ClinkFebPgp2b_1ch-0x00000025-20190315182526-ruckman-af9cde50.mcs Making Vivado communicate with board over USB/JTAG 1.1) use configuration memory part number 28f00ap30t-bpi-x16 'Ĭonfiguration memory part number for kcu1500įront-end Board (pgp->camlink converter) Firmwareįor the OFFICIAL BOARD use configuration memory part number s25fl128sxxxxxx0-spi-x1_x2-x4įor the EVAL BOARD front-end board firmware (a xilinx KC705 rev.

Building Firmwareįollow instructions in the README.md here (make sure to use the modern AFS version of git described here so you can use git-lfs): Some applications are not built by default.

Follow build instruction files in the rogue root directory README files (although I suggest setting up a conda python3 env (previous step) instead of using pip install): Needs a conda env with a bunch of stuff (previous step).
