Bought the starter board from xilinx and the jtag-usb cable fro digilent I've had the starter board a few weeks. And seeing that I only hav USB on my laptop, I purchased the usb cable. This way I won't have t use my slow and noisy machine with a par-port to program the board, thought. But I can't get the cable working properly It (ExPort software from digilent) finds the chain and when I progra the xc3s200 the sw says it worked ok. But...it didn't, the board i totally hung and pressing the Prog button on the board doesn't d anything (still had the original prom-config that was pre-loaded) Removing and reapplying the power to the board, and everything work ok again
Am I missing anything elemtary here? Like settings for the .bit fil
or something? Just tried it with a SVF file and now the PROM is empt as well...even though I asked the prom to be bypassed Programming with the par-cable still works fine, though (thankfully nothing is dead on the board
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
