7 | <H1>XILINX JTAG tools on Linux without proprietary kernel modules</H1> | |
8 | <H2>About</H2> | |
9 | <P> | |
10 | When using <a href="http://www.xilinx.com">XILINX</a> JTAG software like Impact, Chipscope and XMD | |
11 | on Linux, the proprietary kernel <i>windrvr</i> module from <a href="http://www.jungo.com">Jungo</a> | |
12 | is needed to access the parallel- or usb-cable. | |
13 | As this module does not work with current linux kernel versions (> 2.6.18) a library was developed, | |
14 | which emulates the module in userspace and allows the tools to access the JTAG cable without the need | |
15 | for a proprietary kernel module. | |
16 | </P> | |
17 | <P> | |
18 | The library uses <a href="http://libusb.sourceforge.net/">libusb</a> to access USB devices and the | |
19 | <a href="http://www.linuxfocus.org/common/src/article205/ppdev.html">ppdev</a> interface to communicate | |
20 | with parallel cables. The parallel part currently only supports Parallel Cable III mode (and PCIV in | |
21 | PCIII compatibility mode) as the faster PCIV modes use another kernel module which is not emulated by | |
22 | this library. So you are limited to a 200kHz JTAG clock when using Parallel Cable IV with this software. | |
23 | The USB cable is supported at full speed. | |
24 | </P> | |
25 | <P> | |
26 | The library is called <i>libusb-driver</i> as it was developed to support the USB cable, but later | |
27 | extended to also support parallel cables. | |
