Hi,
II'd like to know if there exists an open source implementation of Xilinx cable server, allowing to run it on a platform for which Xilinx does not provide binaries.
Of course it is possible to implement it as e.g. remote parport device (as Xilinx tools support parport connected programmers on Linux platform), but this solution would probably suffer the performance penalty.
Another solution would be to split the linux open source driver (

) into two parts communicating via TCP/IP, as I suggested in my post to comp.arch.embedded "Crazy idea - Embedded PC + USB debugging with QEMU - passing of only one USB interface to QEMU, or distributed libusb-driver" (

).Both however are suboptimal solutions. The most efficient would be simply to have functional replacement of cse_server running on remote embedded system connected to the debugged FPGA.
Has anyone tried to do this? Does anybody know if the cse_server protocol is documented?
