+ on Linux, the proprietary kernel
module <i>windrvr</i> from <a href="http://www.jungo.com">Jungo</a>
is needed to access the parallel- or usb-cable.
As this module does not work with current linux kernel versions (> 2.6.18) a library was developed,
which emulates the module in userspace and allows the tools to access the JTAG cable without the need
</P>
<P>
The library uses <a href="http://libusb.sourceforge.net/">libusb</a> to access USB devices and the

+ <a href="http://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/html/x623.html">ppdev</a> interface to communicate
with parallel cables. The parallel part currently only supports Parallel Cable III mode (and PCIV in
PCIII compatibility mode) as the faster PCIV modes use another kernel module which is not emulated by
this library. So you are limited to a 200kHz JTAG clock when using Parallel Cable IV with this software.
