<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://people.redhat.com/twaugh/parport/html/x623.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.
