Programming the Papilio One

[Guest Tepman2]

I was wondering if it's possible to program the Papilio One using the Xilinx WebPACK.

Thanks,

Hello Tepman2,

Xilinx is pretty closed when it comes to 3rd party programming cables. They have never released an API that would allow us to add support for the FT2232 chip used in the Papilio One.

The best thing to do is generate your bit file using webpack and then double click on the generated bit file so the Papilio Loader will load the bit file to the Papilio One.

There is a method in Linux to inject a library into the web pack software that tricks webpack into using the FT2232 chip but it only works under Linux and is still pretty slow. I hope to one day integrate it into the Linux virtual machine.

Jack.
