I am driving 'jtagd' on a Linux box remotely from a PC to access a ByteBlasterII cable. The client and server PCs are both plenty fast (the server was my desktop until recently and did the programming directly). The JTAG programming over the network via the remote cable works, but it's muuuch slower than the local access. Passive slave programming (of an FPGA) seems reasonably fast. Active serial programming of a flash part is slow, though. The only network between them is a
100Mbps switch. I don't see a cable speed option anywhere.Is there anything I can do to speed this up? I'm going to look into running the programmer on the Linux side, but it would be nice to drive it all from Quartus on the PC.
