Unfortunately not yet. I'm currently making this programmer and system into a product. I'm doing this on my spare time so I move slower than anticipated, but I'm interested in getting in touch with beta testers and other interested parties.

Any chance to see the design or maybe buy units?

I check the website. I only find the replacment for parallel port cable. The HW for ethernet cable is not hard. The more difficult part to get the software (xmd, impact) working with the new cable. -Tony

Yes, Petter, I would love to know how to do this too. BTW, does it work with xmd? -Tony

Hi Petter, Could you please tell me how works the interface with Impact and Quartus? Are there any application notes explaining the how-to-do ?

I've made my own Ethernet based programmer. Works on virtually any OS and does not require a device driver. Also works with Xilinx Impact and Altera Quartus.

How about creating a ethernet to jtag cable replacement?

In that case, you only need to write a user mode program to 
tunnel (forward) info from network <-> JTAG.

It will make the xmd, xst, etc on both windows and Unix 
platform much easier to develop, maintain and use.

TCP/UDP Socket programming is so much easier to develop nad
debug for all the platform.

Right now, I have to build xilinx_pp drivers for different
version of linux kernels.  

Does anyone have a patch for xilinx_pp driver for 2.6 kernel
(Redhat FC 3 release)?
