Free Xilinx Cable III for owners of Altera MAX2 Starterkit.

Hi

due to the fact that Xilinx EDK 7.1 Debugger does not support Xilinx platform USB cable and Virtex 4 I was forced to overcome the lack of Printer port on my development PC, and the solution was done, completed this morning in time frame 0400-0700AM - its just a .POF file for Altera MAX2 Starterkit that emulates standard PCI - LPT port and Xilinx DLC5 Cable.

works like magic - no special driver required the PCI LPT card is silently accepted as normal LPT by windows XP and all Xilinx tools.

the .POF file and description is available for anyone interested please just email me, I will send the files ASAP

I may later make it all available from web download as well, at the moment its only available on request

it really is what the subject says, if you have MAX2 Starterkit then you also can 'change it' to be Xilinx DLC5 compatible JTAG card, or to some other LPT based cable/dongle - more to be released whenever I have time or there is extra interest

Antti PS during all the development on Quartus I did not have any tool related issues at all, everything just worked.

PPS for those who manufacture and sell PCI based FPGA boards (no matter what vendor) branded versions of this IP core and others can be made, please inquiry - I would like to see some applications for Xilinx based PCI boards as well, but I dont have any suitable for that purpose.
