Lynsyn can be used as a replacement for the Xilinx USB JTAG cable when using Xilinx Vivado. lynsyn_xvc is a Xilinx Virtual Cable server that relays messages between Xilinx Vivado and Lynsyn.

Using lynsyn_xvc

You have to run the lynsyn_xvc program in the background. Start it and leave it running.

Then you have to connect to it in vivado. This depends on which part of Vivado you use:

  • In xsct you connect by writing the following: connect -xvc-url TCP:localhost:2542

  • In vivado hw manager, you connect by clicking "open target" -> "open new target" and then choose local server. Then you click "Add Xilinx Virtual Cable" and enter host name localhost and port 2542.
