+In addition to the XILINX USB and parallel cables, devices based on the FTDI
+2232 serial converter chip are also experimentally supported. This includes
+devices like the Amontec JTAGkey(-Tiny).
Build the library by calling `make'.

Notes for the USB cable
=======================
If you have an almost compatible cable which works with other software but not
-with Impact, try preloading libusb-driver-trenz.so instead of libusb-driver.so.
-It includes a hack by Stefan Ziegenbalg to force detection of a parallel cable.
+with Impact, try adding -DFORCE_PC3_IDENT to the CFLAGS line in the Makefile.
+This enables a hack by Stefan Ziegenbalg to force detection of a parallel cable.
Parallel Cable IV is currently only supported in 'compatibility mode', as no
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

+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 from 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", BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0403", SYSFS{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.
