Problems and Solutions#

Cannot support older hw_server version#

  • This happens if you want to connect from Vivado to the ILA:

  • Or if you want to load the MPSoC via JTAG:

  • This error occurs, if you have several Xilinx/Vivado versions on your computer (maybe running also in parallel).

  • Explanation: Each Vivado version has his own Hardware server (hw-server), if e.g. the older Vivado was running (even it is already closed), a new/other Vivado version not be used to cennect to a target.

  • Solution: Go to the task manager, and search for “hw_server.exe” and close the task. As soon as this task was closed (or the computer was restarted) a new hw_server from another/new Vivado version can be opened.

  • It is not possible with Xilinx/Vivado, to use with different Vivado versions, different hw_server.
