From: zcsizmadia@gmail.com on 6 Sep 2006 02:20 Hi All, Here is a open-source CableServer replacement,ent for Impact. Currently Parallel III and Alter ByteBlaster are supported, but any 3rd party can be implemented easily and can be used from Impact. I've tested only Impact 8.2, if anybody has any problem with 7.1, please let me know! Impact and Xilinx CableServer communication are very pooly written. There is no error recovery at all. If server stops, Impact GUI will crash. To avoid this you must disconnect server from GUI using Output/Cavble disconnect menu. http://sourceforge.net/projects/xilprg http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=175344&package_id=203209 Regards, Zoltan

Impact with windrvr recognizes the chain. cblsrv -d3 -cdlc5:/dev/parport0 -p 2000 doesn't find the chain.

I assume there will be since the cableserver protocol is now "open" :) Antti PS the cblsrv works perfectly on WinXP!

>>Running as root with direct io works. ok, you tried it :) I guess you have a little-endian environment (because directio works). The current version is definetely not big-endian friendly.
