Nothing works so give up the device is faulty and not functional. I can not work with linux because my pc is a 32bit one and to old so I can not install xc3sprog.

i wish someone would flash it for me. This modern witchcraft is not my thing. DIL components and GALs are the highest for me ...

Are you not friendly with Tuxie/Ingo or Matthias? I am sure they would help you out (in the same country for ease of postage)

My DFB1 works but without the use of Fastram. YAART reports a lot of errors so my Fastram do not work. I have no trust in Tuxie so may be Matthias can I ask ...

I though you wanted to try your FT232H-based cable, too?

That wouldn't really help. We don't yet know what the issue is. I haven't reworked the firmware to the same standard as DSTB1 yet either so we'd need to iterate.

I think it's a good idea to try the latest beta firmware, but I'd be surprised if that fixed it for you.

You really need to be able to flash it yourself if we're to get it working with your particular board as, at this time, yours is the only board we have that manifests like this.

... the VREF cable had no connection to the USB dongle. The cable was broken, nobody can figure it out! The status LED is now also go green. XC3SPROG does not work with the XPC device. I need to use the Xilinx Software Suite.

I don't dare to go any further ...

Excellent news!

What is your USB VID/PID pair now?

Here are the three tested firmwares. Yours is the oldest. Maybe try the most recent one and work backwards?
