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.
