Firmware for Jtag USB cable


Norman

Question

Dear all,

we use Spartan3 Boards with Jtag USB cables on ISE 14.7. Some of our cables can be used to progamm the FPGA with iMPACT and some only work with Digilent Adept. I recently checked the Error message and it can easily observed that this is a firmware problem:

Working cable:

Failing cable:

INFO:iMPACT - Digilent Plugin: Firmware Version: 0111
ERROR:iMPACT - Digilent Plugin: detected JTAG-USB Full Speed module containing deprecated firmware. Please contact Digilent customer support.
AutoDetecting cable. Please wait.

The failing cable has Firmware Version 111 and the working one 116. Is it possible to update the firmware of the cable?

Best regards,

Norman
