DirtyPCBs support / Re: Any payment alternative to PayPal?
For some reason I cannot understand, PayPal refuses to let me use their service. The DirtyPCB checkout page won't let me just use my credit card without becoming a PayPal member. What am I to do?

Sincerely, PayPal's Not My Pal

Ah ha! That's prolly my fault — not sure why I commented those out. anyways, the tests pass with the following;

Code: [Select]
#unused ft2232 connections
NET "ACBUS6"      	LOC =  "P37";   #AC6
NET "ACBUS7"      	LOC =  "P36";   #AC7

self-test output;

I'm not really sure how the self-test works, but it looks like something is two bits off... here is the output I get from the self-test .bat file;

Bus Blaster JTAG debugger / Re: Bus Blaster v4 power up test success, bitstream next
Sure.

I haven't done a lot of testing with it, but UrJtag seems to recognize connected CPLDs fine.
I couldn't figure out what to do with "TARGET_PRESENT" input so I hardcoded the "FT_TARGET_PRESENT" output to 0 in the verilog.

here is my UCF file and the SVF file I generated.
[attachment=0]

I guess I meant; Is there a BBv2 Self-test ISE project I can look at to modify into one for BBv4?

Is there an ISE project for the BBv4 Self test buffer?

With my modified version of the BBv2 jtagkey buffer, UrJTAG does recognize both CPLDs on my old Digilent XC2-XL dev board.

Code: [Select]
jtag> cable jtagkey interface=0
Connected to libftd2xx driver.
jtag> detect

Bus Blaster JTAG debugger / Re: Bus Blaster v4 power up test success, bitstream next
Hello,

I got a Bus Blaster v4 from the Free PCB drawer. I have soldered it together, and I *think* I have successfully programmed the CPLD.

I wasn't able to find a BBv4 bitstream, so I edited the jtagkey buffer ucf file to match the new XC2C64A VQ100 pinout and generated a new SVF file.

I installed UrJTAG 0.10 #2024 from SVN and was able to get it to compile on OS X using
Code: [Select]
./autogen.sh --disable-werror
Next I googled around for a XC2C64a bsdl file; http://http://bsdl.info/view.htm?sid=bf5910466c75c02088ca59b002289d77

and followed the instructions on the http://http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Bus_Blaster_v2_manufacturing_resources

The next step seems to be getting the self test to work.
