Title: JTAG (Altera USB blaster) not detected by Xilinx iMPACT
Post by: mazedk on July 18, 2013, 03:02:58 PM
Hey guys

Im having some issues. Im trying to firmware upgrade my Lancelot and doing so through the xilinx ISE impact tool version 13.4 .. When i try and do a boundry scan and chose initialize chain i just get the below respons from the application. Im running an Altera USB Blaster cable i bought off ebay. Trying to follow this guide: https://github.com/ngzhang/Lancelot/blob/master/Bitsteam/update%20guide.txt

"Warning:iMpact:923 - Can not find cable, check cable setup !"

I have tried doing an "auto cable connect" aswell as checked the "cable setup"



heres the print from the console of xilinx:

That might be your problem right there, though to be honest I don't use xilinx ISE to program my devices, so I can't be sure. You should try using a Xilinx cable instead.
