Programming the Spartan-3E Starter Kit using Linux?

Hello everyone,

I recently got one of the HW-SPAR3E-SK eval boards and am trying to get ISE/IMPACT under Linux to talk to it; I have ISE8.2 installed, the actual Windriver compiled nicely and is also loaded:

windrvr6 110208 0 usbcore 68044 1 [windrvr6 usbserial usb-uhci ehci-hcd]

Also /dev/windrvr6 exists:

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 254, 0 2006-07-11 11:15 /dev/windrvr6

However, IMPACT just doesn't see the board. Checking the syslog, I find the following when plugging in the board's USB cable into the PC:

Jul 11 12:18:02 kernel: usb.c: USB disconnect on device 00:1d.7-5 address 3 Jul 11 12:18:04 kernel: hub.c: new USB device 00:1d.7-5, assigned address 4 Jul 11 12:18:04 kernel: usb.c: USB device 4 (vend/prod 0x3fd/0xd) is not claimed by any active driver.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards, Rainer

Use windows. Several of the Xilinx tools dont work on unix/linux anyway, so why bother ? Linux are shit compared to Windows when it comes to user friendlyness, so why bother ? Linux are for communists and "NERDS".

Hilarious ;) I certainly would hope the author intended it as a joke ...

The author is a f*cking imbecile who thinks it is to his advantage demonstrating he is one. LOL
