Hi,
I bowsed through some threads about using the various Xilinx programming cables. It seems like with my Linux notebook without a parallel port I am doomend and not able to use any of them.
At the moment I have a parallel cable IV and from what I read there is no way that I will be able to use that with the notebook, even when booting it with Windows, as no USB-to-Parallel adapter will work with it. The notebook does not have a PCMCIA port, so such a parallel adapter will not be an option either.
Concerning the new Xilinx Platform USB cable I read that it does not work under Linux, so here the only option would be to boot the notebook with Windows to get that going.
Is there really no way to get the parallel cable going with a USB-to-Parallel adapter?
TIA
