With this library +it is possible to access the cable without loading a proprietary kernel module +which breaks with every new kernel release. It uses the USB functions provided +by the libusb userspace library instead and should work on every kernel version +which is supported by libusb. It was written against impact from ISE Webpack +9.1SP1 and will very probably not work with older impact versions (<9.1). + +Build the library by calling `make'. + +To use this library you have to preload the library before starting impact: + +$ LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libusb-driver.so impact +or +$ export LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libusb-driver.so (for sh shells) +$ setenv LD_PRELOAD /path/to/libusb-driver.so (for csh shells) +$ impact
