JTAG-USB CABLE NOT DETECTED - hassantalal - 2009-12-27 08:20:00

HI !  i have a usb-JTAG CABLE FOR PROGRAMMING A
FPGA , there is no mentionof any vendor or company on the cable ....  when i used it to program aXILINX SPARTAN 3 E FPGA ON A DIGILENT BOARD THROUGH "ADEPT(SOFTWARE IDOWNLOADED FROM DIGILENT.COM)" , the bit file was successfully downloadedto FPGA BOARD ....but now i have a XTREME DSP SPARTAN 3A STARTER PLATFORMand when i generate a bit file and goto iMPACT no cable is detected .... one can not say that the cable is from digilent because there is no mentionof any sort on cable , 2ndly the cable has been used previously by someother person to program a XILINX SPARTAN 3 BORAD throughiMPACT............... so what should i do .... kindly help  my 295$ boardis of no use to me now ............

The digilent cable used with their adept software is a custom design. Itwill not work with impact software unless it is reprogrammed. Can you stilluse the adept software with your new board?
