I left my board connected to my laptop and power to the board was abruptly cut off when the laptop died. I tried to connect the board to a different computer and realized that it no longer turned on. The computer's device manager shows that something is plugged in, but Adept and Vivado are unable to recognize that a device is connected. I was planning to restore the board to it's default setting on Vivado by using a .bin file but received the following error message: "ERROR: [Labtools 27-2269] No devices detected on target localhost:3121/xilinx_tcf/Digilent/210292AA77E6A. Check cable connectivity and that the target board is powered up then use the disconnect_hw_server and connect_hw_server to re-register this hardware target. ERROR: [Common 17-39] 'open_hw_target' failed due to earlier err." I used a voltmeter to test the voltage across the on/off switch and was getting around 3.3V but now get 0.003V. When I tested the switches that control the on-board LEDS, the also produced around 0.003V. Is there a solution to help me with this as the board is brand new?

Hi What is the difference between using the boards file (when starting a project) vs the constraints file (for the board from Digilent)? For example if I add a GPIO IP to the block design, I can select an item from the board (as shown in the boards tab) to assign it to (without uncommenting the items in the constraints file). Thanks
