So the board works. I used the schools JTAG cable and everything downloaded and worked perfectly. So the board is good.
Good news! Knowing this will save you a lot of time and trouble.
Either the cable or drivers or both. Not sure how else to troubleshoot the cable problem.
There is more than one "USB JTAG cable". Useful details include:
- Which "JTAG cable" make and model works, and which one does not.
- Which versions of software and drivers are used.
- Which operating system is used.
Or simply go to the Xilinx or Digilent website and download the latest software and drivers for your hardware. Try the Digilent Adept tool if you have a Digilent "cable", and try the latest Xilinx iMPACT tool (and driver) if you have a Xilinx "cable".
