Xilinx JTAG download under Linux (urgent)

I have never tried these programs, but I think it a good start. Perhaps someone else here comes up with a better solution.

What's your basis for saying that? Impact from 6.1 has check boxes for PC-III as well as IV. We've used it sucessfully for programming both a flash part and Spartan2 parts, then it suddenly stopped working on the Spartan2. Went from totally reliable to never works. We just ordered a PC-IV because of the chronic problems we've had with the -III. Maybe you need a new cable worse than you need new software.

Dave,

you missed the title!

We are talking about JTAG download under Linux.

Or do you succeed in running ISE6.1 on Linux and download with the JTAG cable?

Thanks for the help. Just to get things going, I've (grumblingly) gone for the windows approach. Tech Support at Xilinx basically said this was the only option available until ISE6.2. Lets hope that's soon.

For those who want to know, the links from Uwe that might help were:

I think Rudolf will be glad to hear those tricks needed.
