Re: Using USB programming cables from Xilinx and Lattice on one Windows machine



I tried different USB cards, without any luck. I put two different ones
in that machine before, because I wanted to try to use two Xilinx USB
cables in the same machine. That's another thing I never could get to
work... Back then I just used one parallel cable and one USB cable, but
even that doesn't work with the mixture of Xilinx and Lattice.

I tried almost every combination (Xilinx USB, Lattice Parallel; Lattice
USB, Xilinx Parallel; Lattice and Xilinx USB), none works.

Well one option is to go FreeBSD/Linux. Or setup a jtag server on another
machine. This seems like a problem that won't go away unless you create
something of your own. Or fake the system for the drivers (ie virtualisation).

Ping Xilinx ..?, how are you going to make this work?, I don't find this an
acceptable situation. I heard from another user that Intel-cpu-jtag +
xilinx-jtag also fails on the same issues.

Or install the lattice programmer, and then use a win32 port of
the linux driver for the xilinx stuff?

Is there a win32 port for the libusb-thing?

I don't know the status of libusb on win32. But my tip would be
to check: http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/

Btw,... google :p
