<H1>XILINX JTAG tools on Linux without proprietary kernel modules</H1> |
|||
<H2>About</H2> |
|||
<P> |
|||
When using <a href="http://www.xilinx.com">XILINX</a> JTAG software like Impact, Chipscope and XMD |
|||
on Linux, the proprietary kernel <i>windrvr</i> module from <a href="http://www.jungo.com">Jungo</a> |
|||
is needed to access the parallel- or usb-cable. |
|||
As this module does not work with current linux kernel versions (> 2.6.18) a library was developed, |
|||
which emulates the module in userspace and allows the tools to access the JTAG cable without the need |
|||
for a proprietary kernel module. |
|||
</P> |
|||
<P> |
|||
The library uses <a href="http://libusb.sourceforge.net/">libusb</a> to access USB devices and the |
|||
<a href="http://www.linuxfocus.org/common/src/article205/ppdev.html">ppdev</a> interface to communicate |
|||
with parallel cables. The parallel part currently only supports Parallel Cable III mode (and PCIV in |
|||
PCIII compatibility mode) as the faster PCIV modes use another kernel module which is not emulated by |
|||
this library. So you are limited to a 200kHz JTAG clock when using Parallel Cable IV with this software. |
|||
The USB cable is supported at full speed. |
|||
</P> |
|||
<P> |
|||
The library is called <i>libusb-driver</i> as it was developed to support the USB cable, but later |
|||
extended to also support parallel cables. |
