What do I need to do? The Platform Cable USB II driver is not available with design tool versions prior to 10.1 and must be installed manually.For complete details on obtaining and installing USB cable drivers, see the USB Cable Installation Guide (UG344): NOTE: Beginning with ISE Design Suite 10.1, the Platform Cable USB II driver can be installed automatically during the design tool installation.
My ISE software version is pre-9.2.04. Will the new Platform Cable USB II (Model DLC10) work with this application? Yes, Platform Cable USB II is backwards-compatible with all legacy design tools that support Xilinx USB cables.
However, the driver for the cable might have to be installed.For complete details on obtaining and installing USB cable drivers, see the USB Cable Installation Guide (UG344). NOTE: Beginning with software version 10.1, the Platform Cable USB II driver can be installed automatically during the design tool installation. Which Xilinx design tools currently support Xilinx USB cables?. ISE Foundation/ISE WebPACK software. ChipScope Pro analyzer. Embedded Development Kit. System Generator for DSP Is support for the Microsoft Vista operating system available for Xilinx USB cables?
Yes, 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Vista are supported.For details, see the respective design tool user guide and the USB Cable Installation Guide (UG344):. Is there Linux-based operating system support for Xilinx USB cables? Yes, Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS and SUSE Linux Enterprise are supported.For details, see the USB Cable Installation Guide (UG344) linked above. I am using a Linux-based operating system that is not on the Xilinx list of supported operating systems (e.g., Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.). Will Xilinx USB cables work with these operating systems? Customers have successfully installed Xilinx USB cables on a number of unsupported Linux-based operating systems. However, Xilinx does not guarantee the reliability, performance, or suitability of such installations.
Xilinx does not support the cable when operated on these operating systems as it is untested in these environments. Is there Solaris operating system support for Xilinx USB cables? No, there are currently no plans for Solaris support. I have a Platform Cable USB model DLC9G (or DLC9LP), but I cannot connect to it using Xilinx design tool versions 8.1i sp3 or earlier. What do I need to do? The drivers for DLC9G and DLC9LP were not delivered on the software installation CD/DVDs until software version 9.1i.
If using a version earlier than 9.1i, you must either upgrade to the latest version of the design tool (recommended) or manually install the cable driver.For complete details on obtaining and installing USB cable drivers, see the USB Cable Installation Guide (UG344). What is the minimum PC environment required for Xilinx USB cables? The host computer must contain a USB host controller with one or more USB ports. The controller can reside on the PC motherboard, or can be added using an expansion or PCMCIA card.
Xilinx USB cables support both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, although performance is optimal on USB 2.0 ports. For additional details, refer to the cable data sheets: Platform Cable USB Data Sheet(DS300) and Platform Cable USB II Data Sheet(DS593):. Why does the Windows Found New Hardware Wizard run three consecutive times when the cable is first attached in Windows XP Professional environments?
Xilinx USB cables are entirely RAM-based products. Firmware is downloaded each time the cable enumerates. Each of the following operations causes a separate iteration of the Found New Hardware Wizard:. The first time the cable is attached to a physical port, an embedded vendor identifier (VID) and product identifier (PID) are transmitted to the host during enumeration.
Windows uses the VID/PID combination to locate a device driver to perform the firmware download. When the firmware executes, a new PID is transmitted to the host. Windows uses the VID and the new PID to bind a USB driver (windrvr6.sys) to the cable.
If the cable is attached to a high-speed port, a soft disconnect is performed by the cable firmware to switch from Full-Speed to High-Speed. Windows creates a new instance in the registry for each physical port used to communicate with Xilinx USB cables. When the instance is created, the Found New Hardware Wizard sequence is repeated. Subsequent removal and reattachment to the same port does not invoke the Found New Hardware Wizard. NOTE: The Found New Hardware Wizard does not appear when Xilinx USB cables are connected in Windows Vista environments.
Are Xilinx USB cables RoHS compliant? All Xilinx USB cables currently in production (models DLC9G and DLC10) are compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directives. This means that Xilinx USB cables contain no lead, mercury, cadmium, or hexavalent chromium. NOTE: Legacy cables (models DLC9 and DLC9LP) are not RoHS compliant, but are no longer in production.
Why do 24 MHz operations fail on some hardware systems? At higher frequencies you might see IDCODE mismatch failures or problems identifying the chain in iMPACT. At 24 MHz, there is a timing window of approximately 30 ns for TDO to propagate from the target device to the cable with sufficient setup margin for sampling. Hardware systems using TDO buffers or logical devices between TDO and the cable can have excess TDO propagation delay causing the data to be incorrectly sampled. Signal integrity issues increased by board noise can also be an issue.
JTAG lines are often given low priority routing and, as a result, are prone to noise on the board. Putting the system in Reset or Quiet mode can often help in these cases. In addition, some devices are not specified to operate properly at 24 MHz. Refer to the device data sheet for information about the maximum supported TCKCCLK frequency.

For additional details, refer to the cable data sheets; Platform Cable USB Data Sheet(DS300) and Platform Cable USB II Data Sheet(DS593). Why does iMPACT version 7.1i and later limit the maximum TCKCCLK frequency and prevent me from selecting a higher frequency? Starting with version 7.1i, iMPACT queries the BSDL file of each device detected in a chain and automatically limits the maximum TCKCCLK frequency to that of the slowest device in the chain.
This is provided as a convenience and prevents incorrect (i.e., too-high) TCKCCLK settings that might cause slower devices to fail during boundary scan operations. The active TCKCCLK frequency is displayed in the lower right corner of the iMPACT window. When switching from Slave-serial to Boundary Scan mode in iMPACT, why does the cable not work? When switching from Slave-serial to Boundary Scan mode (or vice versa), iMPACT does not automatically disconnect from the cable. You should always perform a Cable Disconnect in the current mode before selecting the new programming mode. When you enter the new mode, use Cable Setup to select the cable manually, or you can simply start an operation to invoke auto-connect. Can a single iMPACT session communicate with two or more USB cables attached to the same host (i.e., multiple cable management)?
Multiple cable management is available beginning with iMPACT version 10.1, available in March 2008. This feature allows a single instance of iMPACT to communicate with up to 127 Xilinx USB cables attached to a single machine. For additional information on this feature, see the iMPACT Help and the Platform Cable USB II Data Sheet (DS593). NOTE: Multiple cable management is not available in versions of iMPACT prior to 10.1 and not currently available with other Xilinx design tools. Does multiple cable management support all Xilinx USB cables?
Multiple cable management supports all new and legacy USB cables (e.g., DLC10, DLC9, DLC9G and DLC9LP). Parallel Cable IV is not supported. NOTE: Multiple cable management is not available in versions of iMPACT prior to 10.1 and not currently available with other Xilinx design tools.
Can I use multiple cable management in iMPACT batch mode? No, currently multiple USB cables cannot be controlled from an iMPACT batch (.cmd) file. This feature is to be added in ISE 10.1 Service Pack 3. Can multiple Xilinx design tools or multiple instances of the same design tool share a single Xilinx USB cable?
However, only one application can perform cable operations at a given time. For example, assume two instances of iMPACT; instance A and instance B are connected to a single cable. If A begins a programming operation and B then attempts a programming operation, B is temporarily blocked from accessing the cable. B receives a message indicating that the cable is locked, and the operation must be performed later. Why does iMPACT auto-connect to Parallel Cable IV rather than the USB cable if both are connected to the same host? IMPACT has a fixed interrogation order for auto connection and Parallel Cable IV is the first device in the sequence. You can specify the Platform USB Cable using the Output - Cable Setup dialog in iMPACT.
This order is to be reversed in the ISE 11.1 tools release. What happens if I accidentally terminate a Xilinx USB cable firmware update operation? The next time the design tool connects to the USB cable, it will detect the failed firmware update and a new update operation will be performed.
Although recovery is possible, the cable and design tool should not be disturbed during a firmware update. For additional details on cable firmware, refer to the cable data sheets: Platform Cable USB Data Sheet(DS300) and Platform Cable USB II Data Sheet(DS593). NOTE: In cases where the Xilinx design tool no longer attempts a firmware update, an environment variable can be used to force the update operation, as described in the following procedure:. Open a DOS shell and set the environment variable by entering: SET XILIMPACTENVUSB2FORCECPLDUPDATE=TRUE.
Start iMPACT by entering impact in the DOS shell. Select Xilinx USB Cable from the Cable Communication Setup dialog box and wait for the update to be completed. Exit iMPACT. Clear the environment variable in the DOS shell by entering: SET XILIMPACTENVUSB2FORCECPLDUPDATE= For additional details on setting environment variables and for them in Linux-based operating systems, see. I want to keep multiple versions of Xilinx design tools on my host system.
Will Xilinx USB cables continue to work if I switch back and forth between different design tool versions? Xilinx cables are backwards-compatible with all previous versions of Xilinx design tools that support Xilinx cables. Switching between versions is seamless. Xilinx design tools and cables are designed to use the driver and firmware from the newest design tool installation. For information about maintaining multiple ISE Foundation versions on a single host, see. For other Xilinx design tools, consult the appropriate user guide:://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/index.htm. I have installed a copy of ISE software6.2i that shows Platform Cable USB as a selectable configuration tool.
Why does the cable not work properly? Although the iMPACT GUI does show Platform Cable USB in the Cable Setup dialog, software support was not introduced until iMPACT 6.3.03i. The iMPACT 6.2i software cannot be used with Xilinx USB cables.
I just started working with FPGAs/CPLDs. Coding and simulation went well and now I wish to program a device.
So, I bought the programmer plugged it into the USB port. I di not install any drivers, since the cable drivers were installed during the ISE WebPACK installation process.
The message popped up: So, I clicked on it for detailed information: I went to the Device Manager and right-clicked one the Unknown device to update the driver. I manually pointed out the path suggested by @Tut in his comment, but it said that the driver was up-to-date (hopefully that was said about the driver for the cable). I decided to take a different route and followed the guide for device configuration. For my Win7 x64 and ISE 14.7 WEBAPCK I downloaded a dirver stated on p.15, Step 5.2 of the guide.
After extracting the files and running the installxusb.bat as administrator, I got the following message from the console window 'cannot run x86 build of this utility on x64 platform': Any one has an idea if this is a defective device, or it's because of the driver issues? What's the problem with the driver installation? Should this device be at least recognized as programming cable/xilinx product if no driver is present?

It's funny you should ask this. I just managed to successfully install the DLC9G driver for ISE 14.7 Webpack just two days ago onto a Windows 7 Professional 64 bit computer (a painful experience). There were a couple things I needed to do in order to install the driver:. Despite administrator privileges and performing all installs using 'Run as administrator', I kept getting driver installation failures which included an 'Access is denied' message. I finally found. Scenario 2 provided the help I needed. This required going to 'User Account Control' and setting it to 'Never notify' and then rebooting.
The next thing that needed to be done was to manually install the driver. First I went to Device Manager. I then plugged in the DLC9G and noticed the exclamation point over (I believe) 'unknown device' (or something similar) located in 'Programming cables'.
Xilinx Dlc9g Cable Usb
At this point, I thought it would be a good idea to right-click over 'unknown device' and select 'Uninstall'. Next I right-clicked over 'unknown device' and selected 'Update Driver Software.'
Next I selected 'Browse my computer for driver software'. Next I chose 'Browse.' And pathed to C: Xilinx 14.7 ISEDS common bin nt64. I also had 'Include subfolders' checked. Clicking on 'Next' installed the driver and my DLC9G was working! The driver I used came with ISE 14.7 Webpack. The path I used above was the path for the default installation.
I did not use the User guide (ug344) or the drivers indicated in that guide. Item 1 above (the fix for the 'Access is denied' error) also fixed a problem I was having installing drivers for the Microchip ICD3.
Xilinx Programming Software
After correct installation, Device Manager indicated 'Xilinx USB Cable' under 'Programming Cables'. It also indicated 'WinDriver' under 'Jungo' which previously also indicated 'unknown device' (or something similar).
