Hi,

Xilinx iMPACT is not detecting my parallel cable III when I am trying
to download
projects to the board. My board is Spartan-3.

I am using Windows XP and My ISE Version is 6.3
Please tell me what do i do?
The error messages are:
-----------

Driver windrvr6.sys version = 6.0.3.0.
Cable connection failed.

Hi! I'm using the ISE 7.1 but I hope to be useful to you. We I have the
same problem, I start iMPACT and setup manually the cable
configuration. Choose the menu Output --> Cable Setup... and check
manually the configuration mode, the port and etc.. I also save the
configuration.

I'm using ISE 7.1 and, we I have problem like you, I check manually the
cable configuration in iMPACT. Start iMPACT, choose the menu Output ->
Cable Setup... and check correctly the Communication Mode, Port, Cable
Location... and try again! Then I also save the configuration to
prevent to do the same manual configuration again!!

Hi,
Unfortunately, I can't even do that manually. My port (LPT1) doesn't
come in the list of the ports. The list is empty in fact. Any ideas
what could be wrong? Any checklists for me to double check?

Hi,

Are you sure you connected the cable at the LPT1 port. The LPT1 should
be in the list when you start the iMPACT ouput cable setup. When you
select Parallel Cable only port you can select is LPT1 port. Also you
need to initialize entire boundary scan chain otherwise you would not
be able to program the device if intialize partial chain.

Maybe, you have computer with LPT port disabled, look at BIOS setup, and
be sure that your system (Win XP in Control Panel) see this port.

good luck.

Great !!
The problem was actually trivial. It was exactly what you said. All the
ports were disabled in the BIOS configuration. Thanks a lot.
