Programmer for Spartan-6 - dmendesf - 2010-07-07 16:04:00

I have a Platform Cable USB:

I want to start playing with spartan-6 devices, but spartan-6 is not
in the Device Family Support list of this programmer. Seems that only
Platform Cable USB II supports spartan-6:

Is it really that way? If so, does anyone have a good explanation for
it?

Thanks

Daniel

You should be ok with this cable provided you
have a new enough
version of Impact (ISE).
