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'.
+Build the library by calling `make'. If you are on a 64 bit system but want
+to build a 32 bit library, run `make lib32' instead. Be sure to have the 32
+bit versions of libusb-devel and libftdi-devel installed!
To use this library you have to preload the library before starting impact:
$ impact

Notes for the USB cable
=======================
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}=="03fd", MODE="666"
+file "libusb-driver.rules" in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and restart udev:
+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 file /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusbdfwu.hex to /usr/share/xusbdfwu.hex
+4. copy the files /path/to/ISE/bin/lin/xusb*.hex to /usr/share/
+
+5. restart udev and re-plug the cable
-4. restart udev and re-plug the cable
+
+If you have multiple cables connected, you can specify the cable to use
+in the XILINX_USB_DEV environment-variable as "bus:device".
+These identifiers are available in the output of lsusb:
+Bus 001 Device 004: ID 03fd:0008 Xilinx, Inc.
+ ^^^ ^^^
+To use this cable, set the XILINX_USB_DEV variable to "001:004".
Notes for the parallel cable

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.

The support for FTDI 2232 based devices is experimental and they are currently
-significantly slowen than the other supported cables.
