====== USB cable on Linux =====

[[http://www.intilinux.com/programmazione/478/usare-le-board-xilinx-fpga-su-linux/]]


   * plug the A connector to PC
   * plug the B connector to the board
   * power on the board 

<code>
$ lsusb 
...
...
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 03fd:000d Xilinx, Inc.
</code>


Ok, hardware is recognized. But the USB LED is OFF. The proper driver is missing.  



USB drivers installation?

From ''<install dir>/.xinstall/install.log'' file:

<code>
...
...
--Installing cable drivers.
--Driver versions in this package: windrvr=1301, xpc4drvr=1041
--Script name = /home/pacher/local/opt/xilinx/14.6/ISE_DS/common/bin/lin/install_script/install_drivers/install_drivers
</code> 

\\
Driver install sources and documentation:

''<install dir>/common/bin/lin/install_script/install_drivers/''


Readme file:

''<install dir>/common/bin/lin/install_script/install_drivers/readme.txt''



Install script (sh/bash script):

''<install dir>/common/bin/lin/install_script/install_drivers/install_drivers''




For ''/sbin/fxload'':

<code>
wget http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/i686/fxload-2008_10_13-3.el6.i686.rpm
sudo rpm -i fxload-2008_10_13-3.el6.i686.rpm
</code>

====== Device DNA reader ======

<code>
mkdir sources
unzip -d sources/ s3ask_dna_reader.zip
</code>


\\
Out-of-the box firmware download to the board: on **Windows** you can simply run the 
''install_device_DNA_reader.bat'' batch script from a command prompt
(Xilinx ISE executables must be included in the default system search path!)

<code>
cd C:\path\to\install_device_DNA_reader.bat
install_device_DNA_reader.bat
</code>


:!: //**Note**// \\
On Windows the proper runtime environment is set by running the ''settings32.bat'' batch script!
