Description

Hi
The Adept version recommended by the documents are too old to be able to download from the
https://reference.digilentinc.com/software/adept/start

Is it workable to use the newer version to replace it?

Thanks a lot.
Nicolas

USB-JTAG installation
The default JTAG and configuration method for both the KC705 and the NEXYS4-DDR kits is the UART-JTAG cable. A driver is needed for Vivado to utilize this cable. We recommend to use the driver packages provided by Digilent: https://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?Prod=ADEPT2. For 64-bit Ubuntu, please download and install the following two deb packages:

Adept 2.16.1 Runtime, X64 DEB
Adept 2.2.1 Utilities, X64 DEB

Research direction

Start with the USB-JTAG installation section in the project documentation and compare its Adept 2.16.1 Runtime and 2.2.1 Utilities references with the current Digilent download page. Update the documented package versions if newer replacements are available, and verify that the instructions remain applicable to 64-bit Ubuntu.
