Hi,
Thanks but i have a notebook....
I see, thats a problem:rolleyes2:
As I said there maybe a way that you can use a USB to Parallel adapter but it is a bit tricky.
1) every USB port is connected to a USB Host controller and host controllers are using a I/O memory range as resource type setting.
2) connect your USB to Parallel adapter to a USB port.
try to figure out what Host controller that USB port is connected to.
3) Lets assume that controllers I/O memory range is F080 - F09F
4) you have to modify settings32.bat (located in Xilinx/LabTools directory) by inserting 2 extra lines:
SET XIL_IMPACT_ENV_LPT_BASE_ADDRESS=F080
SET XIL_IMPACT_ENV_LPT_ECP_ADDRESS=F09F
so it now looks like this:
"
@echo off
REM Copyright (c) 1995-2011 Xilinx, Inc. All rights reserved.
SET XIL_IMPACT_ENV_LPT_BASE_ADDRESS=F080
SET XIL_IMPACT_ENV_LPT_ECP_ADDRESS=F09F
REM Set current working directory
set XIL_SCRIPT_LOC=%~dp0
REM Remove trailing slash
set XIL_SCRIPT_LOC=%XIL_SCRIPT_LOC:~0,-1%
REM Call settings file for each product
for /D %%d in (%XIL_SCRIPT_LOC%\*) do (
if EXIST %%d\.settings32.bat (
call %%d\.settings32.bat
)
)
REM Unset XIL_SCRIPT_LOC
set XIL_SCRIPT_LOC=
REM Execute command if any
if "%1" neq "" (
if /i "%~x1" == ".bat" (
call %*
) else (
start %*
)
)
"
Note this pure speculation from my part and I'm not at all sure this is gonna work
