Suggestion for Xilinx parallel port cable replacement.

How about creating a ethernet to jtag cable replacement?



In that case, you only need to write a user mode program to tunnel (forward) info from network JTAG.



It will make the xmd, xst, etc on both windows and Unix platform much easier to develop, maintain and use.



TCP/UDP Socket programming is so much easier to develop nad debug for all the platform.



Right now, I have to build xilinx_pp drivers for different version of linux kernels.



Does anyone have a patch for xilinx_pp driver for 2.6 kernel (Redhat FC 3 release)?

I've made my own Ethernet based programmer. Works on virtually any OS and does not require a device driver. Also works with Xilinx Impact and Altera Quartus.

Hi Petter,

Could you please tell me how works the interface with Impact and Quartus?

Are there any application notes explaining the how-to-do ?

Yes, Petter, I would love to know how to do this too.

BTW, does it work with xmd?

I check the website. I only find the replacment for parallel port cable.

The HW for ethernet cable is not hard. The more difficult part to get the software (xmd, impact) working with the new cable.

Through SVF.

Any chance to see the design or maybe buy units?

Unfortunately not yet. I'm currently making this programmer and system into a product. I'm doing this on my spare time so I move slower than anticipated, but I'm interested in getting in touch with beta testers and other interested parties. My e-mail address can be found at
