Hi all,
I have managed to get the Xilinx command line tools running on linux
under wine, however last night while trying to program my device I hit
a bit of a wall. After reading the archives of this group, I see that
that the iMPACT tool won't run under linux.

I have a home made parallel III cable and am trying to program an
XC9536 CPLD.

How are other people doing this?

Thanks so much for any help/advice you can provide,
regards,
James Fitzsimons

The ISE 6.1i WebPACK will be release at the end of September, but will 
not include Linux support.
ISE BaseX, Alliance and Foundation do include native Linux, but only 
support the Multilinx cable
until the 6.2i release in February.

Use a Windows machine for download.

We wrote a SVF player for our Chameleon POD. We have ported this SVF 
Player on Linux two weeks ago, and it works well.
(SVF Player is a script placed in our Chameleon Programmer software 
www.amontec.com/chameleon.shtml)
I need to check with my Team if we can play with XC9536 CPLD.

So, if you really need a Linux solution, we can have a SVF solution. 
Contact me directly for more on this issue.
