Noob building a TF534

How are you powering the TF530 ? with it off the A500 ?

By looking at your pic with the pins from the Ras pi you only have 5 for the JTAG and no power lead from it which is pin No 1 (3.3v) on the GPIO, so connect a lead from Pin 1 to the 3.3v on RasPi the 3,3v pin on the Jtag port then it will power the CPLD for programming

I first tried the command alone. I also tried with 5V connected to pwr1, but it made no difference since the software throws up an error before it even tries.

I'm installing your ISO on the SD card now. Hopefully it boots on my pi 2b. Winimage didn't work, BTW, since it's a vhd file but I'm using HDD raw copy tool instead which reads the image just fine.

[Lynxman]

Nope. Doesn't work. My rpi 2b doesn't boot or even show any activity. Back to a clean image I guess.

I use Winimage only to backup and write HDD raw wont work

Well I am stumped. If I try to open the "RaspberryPI 8GB with xc3sprog.vhd" image in winimage it asks which partition to connect to, of four available, and thinks my 8 GB SD card is a floppy disk.

You are doing something wrong many people have used the image with no problem

Run Winimage then select DISK in the drop down find your SD card

Then select DISK again and select `Restore Virtual harddisk`

In the window that opens just search for the IMAGE you are restoring then click OK, thats it

** important**

Your SD must have the same storage capacity as the image you are restoring or more !! to small and it wont work obviously

I use Win32diskimager, it's foolproof with no options other than to read or write.


Download, write the image and install into the Pi.

Firmwares are there as ram.jed and bus.jed

The disk is bigger. When I try "Restore a virtual hard disk image" it doesn't let me pick

Thanks. It worked when I opened Windosk with administrator privileges. The sdcard would not show up in the "restore from virtual hard disk image" menu without admin.

Lol yeah you need Admin Privs :)

It shows up on my old Xeon with Win 10 Pro now but the option to restore virtual hard disk is greyed out on my modern pc with i7 7700 and Windows 10 Home. I moved to the newer machine earlier to transfer the image because my old 1366 socket Xeon has unstable USB ports. I literally must have tried every coneivable thing in the software on that machine. What a weird set of problems.
