james1095 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've noticed if I have my USB Bitscope DSO plugged in, Papilio Loader fails to find the Papilio board. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that the Bitscope is internally a serial to USB device. Is there a workaround? Many times it woul be great to be able to update the code on the fpga without shutting down the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Gassett Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 James, I will look into this, are you using a DUO or a Papilio? In the meantime, you might look at using xc3sprog which might let you target the device better. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1095 Posted February 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I've got a Papilio One 500k and a Papilio Pro, I think they're a better match for my needs than the Duo, I never really got into the Arduino thing and while learning VHDL is a huge hurdle, in the long run it will give me a lot more flexibility than relying on modules writted by others. Xc3sprog looks promising, I hadn't heard of that yet. That's a nice alternative for anyone wanting to program Xilinx chips without buying the expensive and bulky USB platform cable. Overall the Papilio Loader application works pretty well, the snag I ran into (and covered by that thread) is really the only problem I've had with it.

Jack Gassett Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 James, Give the command that mkarlsson mentions a try. As long as the DSO does not have the same description it should work. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james1095 Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Cool, I'll give that a try next time I mess with FPGAs. I'm pretty busy with my day job and other responsibilities this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
