Newb question about Xilinx Impact and parallel cable III ....

:-)

I install new ISE (withh Impact) package from xilinx. Did a simple thing in it and now I,m trying to program my xc9572.

I got a parallel cable 3 clone form a company, the cable is autodetected correctly.

Now when I tried to get Idcode from my xc9572 it allways fails .... :o(

I should have something like this

00001001010100000100000010010011

but I got strange thing sometime only 000000...

sometime stuff like that

00001010010101000001000010010011 00001010010101000000000010010011 00000101001010100010000010010011

I tried to put HIHGZ option on but still failed ...

I'm in the fog !! Is someone able to program with a cable3 and the latest Xilinx ISE service pack ?

I have had the same problem. Once you get to the Impact window and the cable is detected, go to Output ->cable setup

A dialog box will appear and there is a drop down box for the cable speed, which defaults to 5MHz. This will not always work (depending on the wiring of the target). Play with the slower speed settings and you'll probably fix your problem. One of my designs requires the download speed to be 200kHz

It's also possible the drop down will say 'Auto' (this seems to depend on whether thinsg have been previously set up) - select 'manual' and a new dialog will appear where you can select the speed.

Cheers

Ok now I'm the point where I can have IDcode correctly

I have 1 xc9572_pc84 if I add config file xc9572_pc84.bsd I got the IDCode correct.

Now (if I understand) I need to specified the jedec file (add new configuration file) so when I add my ex.jed file and try to program I still good same old bad Idcode and program failed...

Ohlala !!!

I made a mistake as it seems ! I download BSDL model from xilinx web site for xc9500 And used them, some of them don't have the good idcode at it seems ... So that was all that problem , I roll back to BSDL from the installation and all is fine :-) I can program my xc9572 :o)
