HI ! i have a usb-JTAG CABLE FOR PROGRAMMING A FPGA , there is no mention
of any vendor or company on the cable .... when i used it to program a
XILINX SPARTAN 3 E FPGA ON A DIGILENT BOARD THROUGH "ADEPT(SOFTWARE I
DOWNLOADED FROM DIGILENT.COM)" , the bit file was successfully downloaded
to FPGA BOARD ....but now i have a XTREME DSP SPARTAN 3A STARTER PLATFORM
and when i generate a bit file and goto iMPACT no cable is detected ....
one can not say that the cable is from digilent because there is no mention
of any sort on cable , 2ndly the cable has been used previously by some
other person to program a XILINX SPARTAN 3 BORAD through
iMPACT............... so what should i do .... kindly help my 295$ board
is of no use to me now ............

The digilent cable used with their adept software is a custom design. It
will not work with impact software unless it is reprogrammed. Can you still
use the adept software with your new board?
