Help with USB cable, Xilinx XUP board, Linux FC3 and EDK

Hi,

Can anybody help with the situation described below?

I followed the best information I could find, but it doesn't work and I would like some tips that could give me information on what goes wrong,

Thanks

Kris Heyrman.

Hmm...I suspect your problem stems from trying to use a driver for a Parallel Cable with a USB Cable. But maybe I'm crazy...

I have the Parallel Driver xp4drv also installed, but I believe for the USB cable windrvr6 is OK.

I received the (good ) advice to change, in the file /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap, on the line containing the label `xusbdfwu', the Product ID 0x0007 to 0x0009.

It now goes further already, so I am on the good path, but I still get: # make -f system.make download

That looks like a file permission or security problem. Could not yet trace it, however. All ideas are welcome.

Have you seen Answer #20762?

--------From Xilinx Answer 20762----------

For USB cable support, it must be installed with the ISE CD install. The USB cable driver in 7.1i ISE is precompiled for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.

The Platform Cable USB uses the windrvr6 device driver. This is the same driver that is used for the Parallel cables. In addition, the following files are also required: setup_pcusb -> install script xusbdfwu.hex -> cable firmware xusbdfwu,xusbdfwu.usermap -> linux setup/script files

These files are copied to the %XILINX%/bin/lin directory when ISE is installed. To run the driver installation, cd to the %XILINX%/bin/lin directory and run setup_pcusb.

For Linux Kernel 2.4.x, the windrvr6 device driver should be built from the source code. See solution 18612 for the driver compilation instruction.

If the files are missing, the user can install the drivers from the Installer CD.

Hi,

The problem is solved. The last problem was due to the SELinux policy that Fedora Core 3 enforces. It shows up in /var/log/messages as: Jun 16 07:50:40 localhost kernel: audit(1118901040.916:0): avc: denied { execmod } for pid=5234 comm=impact path=/home/krish/binaries/Xilinx/bin/lin/libSTL.so dev=hda2 ino=4394222 scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t tcontext=root:object_r:user_home_t tclass=file

To temporarily evade this, you can

# sudo setenforce 0

and later,

#sudo setenforce 1

The problem is (probably) caused by the fact that the ``offending'' library libSTL.o should have been compiled with -fPIC (position-independent code). It is described for similar cases - but not impact - in the Red Hat bug database and can be solved permanently by reading the Fedora Core 3 SELinux FAQ and working around the enforcing.

Much tx for everybody who helped,

Kris Heyrman
