ppdev. It was written against impact from ISE Webpack 9.1SP1 and tested with
the following software:
+ * ISE 12.1
* ISE Webpack 11.1
* ISE Webpack 10.1
* ISE Webpack 9.2SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4
To use the device as an ordinary user, put the following line in a new
file "libusb-driver.rules" in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and restart udev:
-ACTION=="add", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="03fd", MODE="666"
+ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="03fd", MODE="666"
If your cable does not have the ID 03fd:0008 in the output of lsusb,
product-ID from another value to 8). To load the firmware follow
these steps:
+1. Run ./setup_pcusb in this directory, this should set up everything
+ correctly:
+ - When $XILINX is set correctly:
+ $ ./setup_pcusb
+ - When $XILINX is not set, and ISE is installed in /opt/Xilinx/13.1:
+ $ ./setup_pcusb /opt/Xilinx/13.1/ISE_DS/ISE
+
+Old instructions, use only when the above script did not work:
+
1. If you have no /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules file, copy it from
/path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusbdfwu.rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules
-2. Install the package containing /sbin/fxload from your linux distribution.
+2. If you are running a newer version of udev (as in Debian Squeeze and
+ Ubuntu 9.10), you need to adapt the rules-file to the new udev-version:
+ sed -i -e 's/TEMPNODE/tempnode/' -e 's/SYSFS/ATTRS/g' -e 's/BUS/SUBSYSTEMS/' /etc/udev/rules.d/xusbdfwu.rules
+
+3. Install the package containing /sbin/fxload from your linux distribution.
It is usually called "fxload"
-3. copy the files /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusb*.hex to /usr/share/
+4. copy the files /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusb*.hex to /usr/share/
-4. restart udev and re-plug the cable
+5. restart udev and re-plug the cable
If you have multiple cables connected, you can specify the cable to use
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", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0403", SYSFS{idProduct}=="cff8", MODE="666"
+ 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
