Xilinx ISE - USB cable setup

[psysc0rpi0n]

Hello...

I was here trying to connect my old Digilent Basys2 Spartan-3E (250k gates) but I'm having trouble setting up the USB cable.
When I installed Xilinx ISE, I unchecked the "Install USB drivers" as recommended because looks like it doesn't work.

Then I tried to follow this steps here and here but I?m getting an error when I issue the following command:

Code: [Select]

make lib32
or even

Code: [Select]

sudo make lib32

This is the error:

Code: [Select]

make LIBVER=32 clean all
make[1]: Entering directory '/media/Storage/Software/Linux/Xilinx_ISE/usb-driver'

This probably means that I'm missing 32 bit versions of libusb or something like that but I don't know the names of this 32 bit version of this lib...

Can anyone help me? I'm using Debian Jessie 64bit!

Thanks

I have these notes for ISE  14.7 usb drivers (Mint-17-64bit)


But use make for 64-bit ... not make lib32

Code: [Select]

Install via this one

New version of cable drivers:
http://www.george-smart.co.uk/wiki/Xilinx_JTAG_Linux

sudo apt-get install gitk git-gui libusb-dev build-essential libc6-dev-i386 fxload


*** Add to startup file ***
export XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB=1
export LD_PRELOAD=/opt/Xilinx14.7/usb-driver/libusb-driver.so

Maybe not debian , but on *buntu , incl Mint derrivatives ...
And MAKE SURE bash is your default shell NOT dash
dash FSCK's up a lot of things (well the expectation of bash) , when running advanced buildscripts like making GCC etc.

Code: [Select]

To make bash the default shell do this

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
And select No when it asks whether to use/install dash as /bin/sh. 

Verify like this (reboot ot log out first)

$ sh
sh-4.3$ help
GNU bash, version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

it says bash

Ohh

The udev rules for Mint 17 , might work on debian too

The multiarch enables 32 and 64 bit architectures. The problem is the other way around!
My system is actually 64 bit and I downloaded the 64 bit version of the software but I get that error!

In the build log in your original post, you are compiling a 32-bit binary.

Yes, but because I had already tried the "make" option that didn't worked too... It was saying that that compilation was not compatible with 32 bit architecture... So I tried the "make lib32"... That's why!
