Xilinx Platform Cable USB II (DLC9LP) driver

This is a simple tool for those, who would prefer an open-source alternative to Xilinx iMPACT for FPGA programming

Usage

  • You need a Linux machine, libusb-1.0, libftdi1, make, and a recent version of GCC to compile the project
  • Make sure you're executing xpc as root. Either use a root shell, or prefix each command with sudo.
  • Plug the cable into a USB port and type ./xpc init to load the firmware
  • Type ./xpc identify to ensure that the FPGA board is detected properly
  • ./xpc reset can be used to reset the FPGA board
  • To program the FPGA using a bit file, simply type ./xpc load path/to/bitfile.bit
