How to connect my computer with Xilinx Ultrascale FPGA

Question

I'm a novice in FPGA programming, I have synthetize a simple matrix-matrix multiplication written in C++ with Xilinx Vivado HLS and I generate the bitstream with Xilinx SDSoC tool and I obtained the following files:

sd_card
-- _sds
--- _p0.bin
-- matrixMultiplication.elf
-- BOOT.BIN
-- image.ub

I have copied this folder entirely in the sd card of the FPGA. Finally for launching the software I have tried to connect my pc with FPGA through an USB A to micro-USB B cable connected to UART port of the FPGA, but my pc seems not seeing the virtual serial port where FPGA is connected (I have tried with Ubuntu and Windows) and I can't start a serial comunication.. Perhaps I need to install some drivers for USB-UART interface? Thanks

yes you need drivers to work with serial-port of US+

Here, you can find the installation guide for using UART on the ULTRASCALE+. After, when launch GtkTerm (for example), choose:

Configuration -> Port ->

Port: /dev/ttyUSB0
Baud Rate: 115200

This is enough for the default configuration of systems autamatically generated by SDSoC. Plase consider another way: to use the eth and a ssh connection (my favorite way to connect with other system): sometime the UART can be a big source of trouble.
