I can't get it work on OSX 10.8.5, it installs but I get the following error.

 

Quickstart-Papilio_Pro_LX9-v1.5.bit 
Could not access USB device 0403:6010. If this is linux then use sudo.

for 64bit Linux:

don't bother running install.sh yet, first cd into "papilio-prog" directory and run these:

 

./autogen.sh

./configure

make

 

now you can run the linux-installer.sh in the top level directory of the Papilio Loader.

 

you can verify your compile worked when in the papilio-prog directory by typing ./papilio-prog and you should see this output on the command line:

No or ambiguous options specified.
 
Usage:./papilio-prog [-v] [-j] [-f <bitfile>] [-b <bitfile>] [-s e|v|p|a] [-c] [-C] [-r] [-A <addr>:<binfile>]
   -h                   print this help
   -v                   verbose output
   -j                   Detect JTAG chain, nothing else
   -d                   FTDI device name
   -f <bitfile>         Main bit file
   -b <bitfile>         bscan_spi bit file (enables spi access via JTAG)
   -s [e|v|p|a]         SPI Flash options: e=Erase Only, v=Verify Only,
                        p=Program Only or a=ALL (Default)
   -c                   Display current status of FPGA
   -C                   Display STAT Register of FPGA
   -r                   Trigger a reconfiguration of FPGA
   -a <addr>:<binfile>  Append binary file at addr (in hex)
   -A <addr>:<binfile>  Append binary file at addr, bit reversed

Hi,

I just try to find the Linux Download. When pressing Download button I get three files to select. Tried the zip. It contains a papilio loader that I can start with Linux. But it did not connect to the board.

It is not in sync with the how-to: http://blog.gadgetfactory.net/2013/09/howto-papilio-loader-gui-on-linux/

There is no linux installer, sript in the download and also not any makefile in the papilio-prog directory.

The fdti kernel drivers are loading, I can access the serial port of the board with a terminal program.

How do I get the GUI for my Papilio Duo?  When I click on the download links I get a weird error page that tells the Webmaster to contact Rackspace

For anyone who just wants the command line tool for linux x64, you can grab it here.  To use it:

1. Extract to somewhere

2. Either add that somewhere to your path or create symlink in your path

Run papilio-prog as usual.

Also, I've made a small improvement.  To burn to SPI instead of having to specify -b and the name of the appropriate bscan_spi_*.bit file, you can just specify "-b auto" and it'll work it out using the same approach as the GUI tool.

eg:

papilio-prog -f yourbitfile.bit -b auto -sa -r -v
