Nice board.
But I don't know if the FT2232 JTAG solution works under Linux. And the JTAG
connector on the board is blocked... With that in his "pure Windows mind" one
could have much fun with the board :-)
It absolutely SHOULD (which doesn't mean that it does) work using
OpenOCD. That probably doesn't mesh nicely with vendor-supplied
JTAG tools, though I know at least Xilinx's iMPACT tool is somewhat
extensible because Digilent has an extension for it. If it works
through OpenOCD, though, you should at least be able to make the
Xilinx tools spit out something that you can program in there that
way. I've never programmed FPGAs using OpenOCD, but I certainly
see a non-zero amount of related traffic on their development
mailing list about it.
