Happy New Year! Andrew Rogers

I use Xilinx Tools on Linux. What does your tool do that I can't already do with my setup now? (Xilinx Foundation with EDK and USB programming cable)

I think I've tried to contact you via email more than one year ago and got no answer.

It looks like several people (me included) made use of xc3sprog and updated it (I have patches to compile under FreeBSD, program XCF01S and other misc enhancements).

There is a project started on sourceforge (named xc3sprog) which also adds USB connectivity option (I'll be testing it soon).

Last December I've migrated my changes to this source base since it seemed more active; however, reading the posts regarding xc3sprog on this newsgroup and sourceforge you'll find people trying to commit changes and not being able to. May be you can try to get in touch with the sourceforge project owner and help with managing new patches (I'll be more than happy to submit my changes if somehow is possible).

I think having tools to do JTAG programming in userland is quite valuable since they are more portable than closed source, proprietary kernel which is required by IMPACT.

I am more than happy using xc3sprog under FreeBSD (xst FPGA fitting runs under FreeBSD w/ linux emulation as well). It looks like people are looking more after free stuff than open source (see RealPlayer, jtag programming, ATI/NVIDIA drivers, etc, for which the development of opensource sw is quite slow).

Found it at:

Great to see so many changes added to it. Once I worked out how to drive sourceforge.net, ie. to upload changes, etc. I have a few updates myself.

Thanks Andrew Rogers

That should be easy; just install subversion and you should be done with it.

Let us ping Eric Jonas, the owner of the projetc; my understanding is he's kind of busy and is hard to have commits added to the sourceforge project. There are few other peoples I saw looging to post updates for xc3sprog, let us ping them too.

I hope I'll see some activity soon!

Now *this* is cool!

If you work on this any more, step/impulse response would be great, too.

Current version of xc3sprog in SVN incorporates all of the patches submitted so far. I pulled them in a couple of days ago, partially in response to this thread. Please submit your new patches - I will try to keep the project up to date.

I've sent you my patches to your gmail address. Please let me know if you've received them.
