Re: Xilinx platform cable USB API?

I believe that one option is to use the Xilinx cable, but download
your own firmware to it rather than the firmware the Xilinx tools
download. Since the firmware defines the interface, you can then use
it anyway you like...

Yes, you can do that. You have to download your own CPLD
configuration too, unless someone reverse-engineers the one
that Xilinx uses. So every time you switch between using the
cable for Xilinx software vs. for your own software, you have
to wait while the CPLD is reprogrammed.

Sigh.
