Not only does Adept 2 provide JTAG configuration and data transfering, it also adds board verification and I/O expansion features. Dartmouth Download Matlab there. Connecting and opening devices is. I could not get it working correctly on linux, so went back to ISE Impact. I thought this would be easier to. JTAG-USB cable, top. JTAG-USB Cable. I have the same issue with VBox 2.1.2 Running a CentOS Guest on an XP Host. I'm trying to connect a USB JTAG cable for a Xilinx board and I've tried with and without.

The JTAG-USB cable allows you to use your PC to connect to a JTAG scan chain or to access an SPI interface on a board equipped with the appropriate 6-pin header. In this way, you can program devices on Digilent programmable logic boards using the Digilent Adept Suite. You can also program AVR micrcontrollers on Digilent embedded control boards using the Digilent AVR programmer application.

To download the newest versions of the afore-mentioned software, please visit the following pages: • • Note: This cable is not needed for Digilent FPGA boards as our boards are designed with this functionality natively. Stats: Connector(s): USB type A to 6-pin female header connector Programming: FPGA Programming accomplished via the Digilent Adept Suite Software Features: • Low-cost JTAG configuration solution • Connects to the USB port of a PC, and to a standard 6-pin JTAG programming header • Can be used with Digilent Adept Suite & AVR Device Programmer software • Can program devices that have a JTAG voltage of 1.8V or greater.

I found the problem with impact: It expects to find the firmware files in /usr/share. If they are not in this directory (and have the right version), it simply skips the usb-stage and doesn't even try to find the jtag adapter, but prints the mentioned message about its script which will copy the files into the appropriate locations. Fortunately, symbolic links are also sufficient. I also updated my patch based one your one: It makes the digilent support optional and doesn't use the $XILINX variable as it might not be set when this package is built. It also properly installs the udev rules into /usr/lib instead of /etc.
