[stoica adrian]

Hello, i just recive this platform from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Platform-Cable-USB-XILINX-FPGA-CPLD-JTAG-DLC9G-in-circuit-Debugger-Programmer-/261127458640
at this moment i have some stupid problem on finding the software to run this platform on xinilx sit.
Does someone know from where to download the software for this one.

And a final question, I want to modify the serial number of an FPGA procesor on a set top box. Do you think i will acomplish this, i mean it is possible or it is software protected the SN?

Thanks,

The program you want is called iMPACT and it is part of the WebPack ISE 14.7 package (free).
If you search Google you may find a way to install iMPACT without installing the entire ISE.

I don't know anything about serial numbers.  I don't even know how you would find it buried in tons of startup code.  In fact, you may not even be able to read the contents of the configuration EEPROM.  It's been known to happen that this stuff is all encrypted.  It depends on the logic family.  Personally, I don't think there will be a positive outcome.
