1 | This library emulates Jungo Windrvr USB and parallel port functions in | |
2 | userspace which are required by XILINX impact to access the Platform cable USB | |
3 | and Parallel Cable III. | |
4 | With this library it is possible to access the cables without loading a | |
5 | proprietary kernel module which breaks with every new kernel release. It uses | |
6 | the functionality provided by the libusb userspace library for USB access and | |
7 | the kernel interface at /dev/parport0 for parallel port access instead and | |
8 | should work on every kernel version which is supported by libusb and supports | |
9 | ppdev. It was written against impact from ISE Webpack 9.1SP1 and tested with | |
10 | the following software: | |
11 | ||
12 | * ISE Webpack 10.1 | |
13 | * ISE Webpack 9.2SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4 | |
14 | * ISE Webpack 9.1SP1, SP2, SP3 | |
15 | * ISE Webpack 8.2SP3 | |
16 | * ISE Webpack 8.1SP3 | |
17 | * ChipScope 10.1 | |
18 | * ChipScope 9.2.01i, 9.2.02i, 9.2.03i, 9.2.04i | |
19 | * ChipScope 9.1.02i, 9.1.03i | |
20 | * ChipScope 8.2.04i | |
21 | * EDK 10.1 | |
22 | * EDK 9.2.01i, 9.2.02i | |
23 | * EDK 9.1.01i, 9.1.02i | |

28 | In addition to the XILINX USB and parallel cables, devices based on the FTDI | |
29 | 2232 serial converter chip are also experimentally supported. This includes | |
30 | devices like the Amontec JTAGkey(-Tiny). | |
31 | ||
32 | Build the library by calling `make'. If you are on a 64 bit system but want | |
33 | to build a 32 bit library, run `make lib32' instead. | |
34 | ||
35 | To use this library you have to preload the library before starting impact: | |
36 | ||
37 | $ LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libusb-driver.so impact | |
38 | or | |
39 | $ export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libusb-driver.so (for sh shells) | |
40 | $ setenv LD_PRELOAD /path/to/libusb-driver.so (for csh shells) | |
41 | $ impact | |
42 | ||

53 | Notes for the USB cable | |
54 | ======================= | |
55 | ||
56 | To use the device as an ordinary user, put the following line in a new | |
57 | file "libusb-driver.rules" in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and restart udev: | |
58 | ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="03fd", MODE="666" | |
59 | ||
60 | ||
61 | If your cable does not have the ID 03fd:0008 in the output of lsusb, | |
62 | the initial firmware has not been loaded (loading it changes the | |
63 | product-ID from another value to 8). To load the firmware follow | |
64 | these steps: | |
65 | ||
66 | 1. If you have no /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules file, copy it from | |
67 | /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusbdfwu.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules | |
68 | ||
69 | 2. Install the package containing /sbin/fxload from your linux distribution. | |
70 | It is usually called "fxload" | |
71 | ||
72 | 3. copy the files /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusb*.hex to /usr/share/ | |
73 | ||
74 | 4. restart udev and re-plug the cable | |
75 | ||
76 | ||
77 | If you have multiple cables connected, you can specify the cable to use | |
78 | in the XILINX_USB_DEV environment-variable as "bus:device". | |
79 | These identifiers are available in the output of lsusb: | |
80 | Bus 001 Device 004: ID 03fd:0008 Xilinx, Inc. | |
81 | ^^^ ^^^ | |
82 | To use this cable, set the XILINX_USB_DEV variable to "001:004". | |
83 | ||
84 | ||
85 | Notes for the parallel cable | |
86 | ============================ | |
87 | ||
88 | To access the parallel port from userspace, the kernel needs to be built with | |
89 | the features "Parallel port support" (CONFIG_PARPORT), "PC-style hardware" | |
90 | (CONFIG_PARPORT_PC) and "Support for user-space parallel port device drivers" | |
91 | (CONFIG_PPDEV) builtin or as modules. If these features are built as modules, | |
92 | they need to be loaded before using this library. | |
93 | These modules are called: | |
94 | parport | |
95 | parport_pc | |
96 | ppdev | |
97 | ||
98 | ||
99 | To use the device as an ordinary user, put the user in the group 'lp' | |
100 | ||
101 | ||
102 | If you have an almost compatible cable which works with other software but not | |
103 | with Impact, try adding -DFORCE_PC3_IDENT to the CFLAGS line in the Makefile. | |
104 | This enables a hack by Stefan Ziegenbalg to force detection of a parallel cable. | |
105 | ||
106 | ||
107 | Parallel Cable IV is currently only supported in 'compatibility mode', as no | |
108 | attempt to configure the ECP registers is done by this library. | |
109 | ||
110 | ||
111 | If you get "Programming failed" or "DONE did not go high" when programming | |
112 | through the parallel cable with Impact 9.1, make sure to have the option "Use | |
113 | HIGHZ instead of BYPASS" enabled in Edit -> Preferences -> iMPACT Configuration | |
114 | Preferences. | |
115 | If you are using batch mode, add the following line to your cmd file: | |
116 | setPreference -pref UseHighz:TRUE | |
117 | (This problem also occurs on windows and when using the real windrvr in linux | |
118 | and is solved with the same workaround. Impact 8.2 is working fine with the same | |
119 | boards and designs) | |
120 | ||
121 | ||
122 | Notes for FTDI 2232 based cables | |
123 | ================================ | |
124 | ||
125 | To build the driver with FTDI 2232 support, you need to have libftdi and | |
126 | the libftdi development package installed. On debian, you can install both | |
127 | by installing 'libftdi-dev'. | |
128 | ||
129 | To set-up the device: | |
130 | 1. Find out the vendor and product id of your cable using lsusb: | |
131 | Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0403:cff8 Future Technology Devices ... | |
132 | ~~~~~~~~~ | |
133 | ||
134 | 2. Copy the sample libusb-driverrc to ~/.libusb-driverrc, edit it and replace | |
135 | the vendor and product-id in the example file with the values provided in | |
136 | the lsusb-output. You can also change the 'parallel port' which is mapped to | |
137 | this cable. Impact sees the device at that port as a Parallel Cable III. | |
138 | ||
139 | 3. To use the device as an ordinary user, put the following line in a new file | |
140 | in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and restart udev: | |
141 | ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0403", SYSFS{idProduct}=="cff8", MODE="666" | |
142 | (replace the vendor and product id with your values) | |
143 | ||
144 | The support for FTDI 2232 based devices is experimental and they are currently | |
145 | significantly slower than the other supported cables. | |
146 | ||
147 | ||
148 | Locked cables | |
149 | ============= | |
150 | ||
151 | If you get the message 'The cable is being used by another application.' from | |
152 | impact, try running the following command: | |
153 | ||
154 | echo -e 'cleancablelock\nexit' | impact -batch |
