RGH Programming Coolrunner with Xilinx lab tools

[christianmoel]

Hey i recently purchased a tx coolrunner. I am trying to program the timing files to the coolrunner.
I am using a Xilinx LPT JTAG cable, in addition to a usb to parralel port converter, connect it to my pc.
As far as i have gathered i need to use the xilinx lab tools for the programming, http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74996.
Problem is that i am totally clueless as to how to use the program.

So if anyone got any experince or advice on how to program the timing files to the coolrunner, it would be greatly appriciated

i will tell you .
after installing
search for IMPACT 32 or 64
open it
i will detect your Cable
if not ,
from output menu select cable setup
and choose " Cable plugin "
and replace the wrote text by this one
xilinx_platformusb PORT=USB21 FREQUENCY=6000000
ok
and it will detect it

dont worry.....
use 360gcProg_v1.0 software..........download it from Logic Sunrise website
logic-sunrice dot com

it smaller and easy to use

Thanks for the answers booth of you, im going to try right away . Xmarksthesh0t you supply nothing other than bullshit. i only asked for help, i was never intending for you to do the work for me.

Still no luck tried both methods:
pics are attached


my guess is that im using the wrong port.
can anyone correct me, or somehow lead me in the right direction?
any answer will be greatly appericated

 

[bmonier]

please tell me which cable you use
and how you program it ?
is it LPT ?
and check the images , there is no one attached .

fixed images.

i am using a offical Xecuter Xilinx LPT JTAG Cable. my computer does not have a printer port. because of that i use a usb to parralel port adapter. both a brand new and intact so that should not be a problem.

the problem is that xilinx lab tools does not detect my cable, neither does it when i use the setting you suggested (xilinx_platformusb PORT=USB21 FREQUENCY=6000000)

I don't think the lpt to usb adapter will work with that.

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.

NOTE: IT HAS TO BE A USB PORT ON YOUR PC MOTHERBOARD AND NOT A USB HUB

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

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 is pure speculation from my part, and I'm not at all sure this is going to work:wink:
