Hello, im trying to connect my brand new "Digilent Arty Artix-7 35T FPGA" to my Thinkpad P52s USB Port.
The board is well powered up, but the software (Vivado HLx & USB/UART tty) doesnt seem to recognize it (dmesg errors).

I installed the Vivavdo HLx suite + the specific cable_drivers as described :
p30-p31
