Using MultiLINX /Parallel cable III or IV
The JTAG header is provided to enable device programming via suitable software.
Typically, this will be Xilinx iMPACT.
Xilinx iMPACT supports both the Xilinx MultiLINX™ and Parallel Cable III download
cables for communication between the PC and FPGA(s). The MultiLINX cable
supports both USB (Windows 98 and Windows 2000) and RS-232 serial
