Xilinx CPLD programming tool under Linux

Hi all !

I'm wondering if a basic tool already exist to program Xilinx CPLD
(XC95144 and so) under Linux (preferably with the old Parralle cable III)

Thanks, Habib.

Doesn't ISE itself have such a tool?

If all else fails, you can port the sample app in xapp058 to whatever
hardware you have.  I've done that with a USB adapter[1] to program an
XC9572XL[2] with FC6.

I'm working with WebPack ISE and i guess that the programming tools
(ImpACT) is a native MS-Windows tool and did not work under GNU/Linux.
I'm building a parallel cable for my own so i did not already test it.

I will take a look to this xapp058. Many thanks.

Use impact with 
http://rmdir.de/~michael/xilinx/

Don't bother with the windriver kernel module...

Hi !

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Building this library allows us (Linux user's) to program Xilinx devices
with impact (in command line) and usb or parrallel cable III.

I will try this next week (time to build my own parrallel cable III)

PS :
Although the DJ Delorie solution (xapp058) requires more work, I would go
more deeply later.


Many thanks, Habib.

If you like to go the SVF way, urjtag  (look on sourceforge) can play SVF on
many adapters.

WebPACK ISE for Linux comes with Impact that runs file on Linux.
