"Failed to initialize the RTIOStream library" while installing HDL Verifier Support Package for Xilinx FPGA Boards add-on

Hello,

This issue is different from this question - I have the issue while trying to configure the add-on. I think I'm following the steps correctly; here's my steps:

1. Disconnect the board from everything
2. Plug in the power
3. Plug in a micro-USB connector to the JTAG port
4. Turn on the power to the board
5. Click "Test Connection"

Note: Neither Ethernet nor the serial port USB cables are connected.

Here's the error:

What should I be doing?

Thanks,

Charles

When you press "Test Connection" and then go through those prompts, you may get an error code that'll give you more helpful information.

I don't understand your suggestion. I did press "Test Connection". It took 5-10 minutes to synthesize a bitstream (I'm assuming) and then managed to program the FPGA (step 2). If I press "Test Connection" again, it will try steps 1 and 2 all over again and then fail with the same error message. Is there a log file somewhere that provides more info? That would be helpful.

Sorry, I don't my my own board for testing, I was just going off of a similar question/issue posted here and I thought that was from the "Test Connection" button. Maybe it's from the Diagnostic Viewer, but I'm not too sure.

Hi all,

The issue seems to be that the Digilent Adept 2 Runtime was not installed. See also: Supported EDA Tools and Hardware and go to the link above for instructions. My mistake was not understanding that the ZCU-102 board has this module on it.

Also, I had installed the Xilinx JTAG drivers (/opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2020.2/data/xicom/cable_drivers/lin64/install_script/install_drivers/install_drivers) on advice from co-workers. This was probably right for using the Xilinx JTAG tools, but not right for HDL Verifier.
