how to access XTAG-4?

[HerbieSundiver]

Hi,
I need help for the very first steps. (Yes I tried the search function of this forum but it does not work at all...)

I have a XK-EVK-XU316 (with the onboard XTAG-4) and I have installed the latest tools:
$ xcc --version
xcc: Build 19-198606c, Oct-25-2022
XTC version: 15.2.1

xcc in bash seems to work, but xrun -l gives me:
$ xrun -l
Fatal error: XMOSXTAG3 Windows Service is not running. This is installed by the XMOS xTIMEComposer installer and configured to start automatically. Check it is running.
Available XMOS Devices

No Available Devices Found

Is there a separate driver somewhere?
I am on a native Win11 machine.

Thanks in advacnec for your help,
Bert

I think this problem may occur on non-English language installations of windows 11:

Yes, that is what I thought. So I went through all the jungles of trying to get it to run on a native Ubuntu (not straight forward at all) and then trying in virtual machines using Ubuntu and Fedora (even less straight forward).
BUT: I managed to at least have it running!
I really wish XMos' docu would be more up to date and had less errors...

I think I will do a step by step docu, maybe someone can also have use of it.

...or even better: Maybe XMos makes a nice packaged IDE to make work more efficient, fast, easy, nice :-)
