Xilinx Platform cable USB and impact on linux without windrvr

Hi,

anyone having success with a FYDK-XILINX Platform Cable USB Model DLC9LP?
 
idVendor=0403, idProduct=6014

With your help I was able to get rid of "windrv6 module not loaded" error message, and it looks as if impact is using libusb-driver.so.

But I still get "cable not found" error.

thanks & regards

I have a DLC9G, don't know how this is different from a DLC9LP.
It works, but I occasionally get into some kind of problem where it will not 
initialize.  I have to go through several menus to reset impact so it scans 
again for the device.  You do NOT need windrvr, that is for the old parallel 
port JTAG device.

Hi,

are you sure the given product and vendor IDs are from your Xilinx
Programmer? All my programmers have VendorID 0x03fd and product IDs
between 0x0007 and 0x0015. Once fxload has loaded the cypress firmware
the programmer should have productID 0x0008 and the LED turns orange or
green.

I bought four Chinese Platform Cables, and was surprised to
find I had two different types, two with Cypress 8051 + logic
chip, and two with FTDI (0403-6xxx) and level shifters. 

The guy using them got the FTDI ones working with Impact, but
not the Cypress ones which need a firmware file and an extra
package? to upload the 8051 firmware on connection under linux.  

I think that one of the apps is scripted Impact, so it may be
simple to recover the settings. Impact was installed from ISE
14.7.
