ZCU111_list_ports not working

[jpsmith888]

Hi,

Forgive me I am new to the FPGA/SoC world! I am trying to set up my ZCU111 eval board. I ran the built in self test and everything operated as expected but now I am trying to connect to my computer and am having issues with getting the COM ports. I am following XTP518 with the RDF0469 System Controller GUI zip file. I installed the FTDI CMD drivers. I am running >> cd C:\zcu111_bit zcu111_list_ports.bat and no COM ports are showing up? (See attached screenshot). I then went to edit the system controller programming BAT file 

>> C:\zcu111_bit\tests\ZCU111\bat\msp_flash\Firmware_flash_gui.bat

to match the B port number (which I guessed was COM07) as detailed in XTP5111. But this gives a bunch of missing/cannot find COM port errors when I try to run it.

I am running Windows 10 home version 1803 build 17134.523. Is there a work around here? I did some poking around in the devices settings, looked at the com ports, etc. and couldn't find anything obviously wrong. Huge thank you in advance for any help.

Hello,

The Accepted Solution in the following post also works for ZCU111: https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Evaluation-Boards/ZCU104-COM-Ports-Failed-Software-Install-Failed-Board-Interface/m-p/878039#M18753

The author of the XTP and associated files has also been contacted to understand why the format in the .bat script does not enumerate the ports, but changing the format works.
