From: dlopez on 8 Dec 2009 15:35 Hi, It seems like Chipscope only supports the original Xilinx cable...no other JTAG cable would work. Anyone knows if there is a way to obtain one for less than the very high 250$ they ask for?

From: John Adair on 8 Dec 2009 17:43 A number of parallel port based cables, like our Prog2 cable, will work for Chipscope/Impact tools. USB solutions are not readily available as yet unless you are a student where there is an option for a cheaper cable. We may offer something of a solution in a little while but remains to be debugged as yet. John Adair Enterpoint Ltd.

I would definitely prefer a USB solution. Thanks, Diego --------------------------------------- This message was sent using the comp.arch.fpga web interface on http://www.FPGARelated.com

For students http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,395,716&Prod=XUP-USB-JTAG. I have not used this myself but Digilent have had access to the Xilinx programming circuit for some years so I would not expect any major problems. Our solution will be something similar and will ship with our development boards as an optional extra. John Adair Enterpoint Ltd. - Home of Drigmorn2. The Embedded FPGA Board.
