Impact running on wine?

[Andrew Rogers]

Does anyone have impact running under wine?

Can I configure my Spartan3 Starter Kit from GNU/Linux? If so, how?

I have tried to run impact under wine but it fails to connect even as
root. Perhaps this is due to some wrong configuration in my wine.conf.

Thanks
Andrew

I'd be very surprised if you could run impact under Wine - it needs
direct hardware access to the parallel port.

If you are using normal Xilinx ISE tools they can be installed native
under Linux - Impact works fine.

What did you try? The native version of Impact does work, but unless you
are running the officially supported version of RH8, there are a few
steps you need to follow. Mainly, you need to recompile the driver
against the source for whatever kernel you are using. Not exactly
trivial, but it does work. The instructions and source code are
available from Xilinx:
