1 | This library emulates Jungo Windrvr USB functions in userspace which are | |
2 | required by XILINX impact to access the Platform cable USB. With this library | |
3 | it is possible to access the cable without loading a proprietary kernel module | |
4 | which breaks with every new kernel release. It uses the USB functions provided | |
5 | by the libusb userspace library instead and should work on every kernel version | |
6 | which is supported by libusb. It was written against impact from ISE Webpack | |
7 | 9.1SP1 and will very probably not work with older impact versions (<9.1). | |
8 | ||
9 | Build the library by calling `make'. | |
10 | ||
11 | To use this library you have to preload the library before starting impact: | |
12 | ||
13 | $ LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libusb-driver.so impact | |
14 | or | |
15 | $ export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libusb-driver.so (for sh shells) | |
16 | $ setenv LD_PRELOAD /path/to/libusb-driver.so (for csh shells) | |
17 | $ impact | |
18 | ||
19 | To use the device as ordinary user, put the following line in a new | |
20 | file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and restart udev: | |
21 | ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="03fd", MODE="666" | |
22 | ||
23 | ||
24 | If your cable does not have the ID 03fd:0008 in the output of lsusb, | |
25 | the initial firmware has not been loaded (loading it changes the | |
26 | product-ID from another value to 8). To load the firmware follow | |
27 | these steps: | |
28 | ||
29 | 1. If you have no /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules file, copy it from | |
30 | /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusbdfwu.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules | |
31 | ||
32 | 2. Install the package containing /sbin/fxload from your linux distribution. | |
33 | It is usually called "fxload" | |
34 | ||
35 | 3. copy the file /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusbdfwu.hex to /usr/share/xusbdfwu.hex | |
36 | ||
37 | 4. restart udev and re-plug the cable |
