Is Xilinx Parallel Cable III OK For Memec V2Pro / Xilinx EDK?

Apr 12, 2004 3 Replies

I've purchased the Memec V2Pro board and Xilinx EDK. Can I use my Parallel Cable III, or is the IV required? Thanks.

Just to add to Matts reply... the parallel III cable should work fine for the VIIPro boards however it wasn't really intended for 2.5v JTAG - see here :

The only other point to note is that the parallel IV cable is significantly faster than the parallel III

I had this problem, and contacted Memec tech support. The fix they suggested, is dissconnecting Vcc (red wire) from JTAG and connect directly into 3.3V on JP29. This works for me.
