XILINX JTAG tools on Linux without proprietary kernel modules

News (2008-03-26): Xilinx has released their own drivers based on libusb with ISE Design Suite 10.1. - To use them, you need to set the environment-variable XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB to 1 - before running the tools. The driver on this page no longer needs to be preloaded if you only used - it to access USB cables. Parallel port support still seems to rely on windrvr, which can be - emulated by libusb-driver.
- Using 32-bit ISE 10.1 on a 64-bit platform: When using the 32-bit JTAG tools from ISE Design - Suite 10.1 on a 64-bit machine, the tools will not connect to the cable but output the following - error: Cable operation is not supported when running the 32-bit version of the application on a - 64-bit platform.
- To fix this, run the tools with linux32 or preload the newest 32-bit version of - libusb-driver. This will lead the tools to believe that they are running on a 32-bit - platform and allows them to connect to the cables. -
