Hi

Hope this thread is still alive :)

I've been trying to use xc3sprog on FreeBSD 7.2 RELEASE to detect my
Digilent Spartan 3 Starter Board by running the command

xc3sprog -j -d /dev/ppi0

but get the failure message

Release $Rev: 215 $
Please provide feedback on success/failure/enhancement requests! Check
Sourceforge SVN!
Missing power for Parallel Cable III

I'm using the Xilinx parallel JTAG cable to connect the board.

To compile xc3sprog I had to change 'port->fd' to 'fd' in a few places in
ioparport.cpp - don't know if that might be causing this.

Thought this might be an issue with the port not being detected by the
kernel but dmesg shows that the port is indeed detected:

ppc0: <Parallel port> at port 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa0
ppc0: SMC-like chipset (ECP/EPP/PS2/NIBBLE) in COMPATIBLE mode
ppc0: FIFO with 16/16/9 bytes threshold
ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0
ppbus0: [ITHREAD]
plip0: <PLIP network interface> on ppbus0
plip0: WARNING: using obsoleted IFF_NEEDSGIANT flag
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
ppc0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
ppc0: [ITHREAD]

I'm running the GENERIC kernel.

Thanks,
JP

Could you please try sourceforge SVN
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xc3sprog/develop
svn co https://xc3sprog.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xc3sprog xc3sprog
?

Thanks

Regarding the parallel port, I fixed port->fd and some error inhibiting the
use with win32 introduced sometimes after $Rev: 215

If the problem persists and if you can, try running in gdb to see what goes
wrong. Otherwise send me the output of "strace -f -o /tmp xc3sprog.strace
xc3sprog -j -d /dev/ppi0" or something equivalent on BSD.

Thanks
