+If you get "Programming failed" or "DONE did not go high" when programming
+through the parallel cable with Impact 9.1, make sure to have the option "Use
+HIGHZ instead of BYPASS" enabled in Edit -> Preferences -> iMPACT Configuration
+Preferences.
+If you are using batch mode, add the following line to your cmd file:
+setPreference -pref UseHighz:TRUE
+(This problem also occurs on windows and when using the real windrvr in linux
+and is solved with the same workaround. Impact 8.2 is working fine with the same
+boards and designs)

+Notes for FTDI 2232 based cables
+================================
+
+To build the driver with FTDI 2232 support, you need to have libftdi and
+the libftdi development package installed. On debian, you can install both
+by installing 'libftdi-dev'.
+
+To set-up the device:
+1. Find out the vendor and product id of your cable using lsusb:
+ Bus 003 Device 005: ID 0403:cff8 Future Technology Devices ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~
+
+2. Copy the sample libusb-driverrc to ~/.libusb-driverrc, edit it and replace
+ the vendor and product-id in the example file with the values provided in
+ the lsusb-output. You can also change the 'parallel port' which is mapped to
+ this cable. Impact sees the device at that port as a Parallel Cable III.
+
+3. To use the device as an ordinary user, put the following line in a new file
+ in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and restart udev:
+ ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="cff8", MODE="666"
+ (replace the vendor and product id with your values)
+
+The support for FTDI 2232 based devices is experimental and they are currently
+significantly slower than the other supported cables.

+Locked cables
+=============
+
+If you get the message 'The cable is being used by another application.' from
+impact, try running the following command:
+
+echo -e 'cleancablelock\nexit' | impact -batch
