Linux and Platform USB Cable

Has anyone gotten impact to work on Linux with the Platform USB Cable??

If so, what version of the kernel were you using?
What, if any debug did you have to do to get it to work?

I just got the Cable yesterday, and have so far been unable to get
impact
to even find the device.

I know the drivers are installed and the firmware is loaded.

Does it really work on Linux?

Thanks, Chris

I tried and never got it to work ... That really pisses me off actually
because // is quite slow when downloading data to SDRAM ...

Always get a "write cmdbuffer failed 20000015" in impact ...

Thanks Sylvain.

I am not having much luck myself and am also a bit miffed!!

What Linux Kernel are you running?

Thanks, Chris

The Platform USB Cable is only officially supported with Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 3.  There are a number of solution records on the
Xilinx site (20762 & 18612) that could be used for a different kernel or
distro.  The farther you are from RHEL3, though, the more likely there
are to be issues.
