for the clones you must reset the cable after each operation.
Also i had to install the digilent cable driver.
Can all registered uses please login, even just for a few minutes..

@ninjafahrer - I did some clean up of your picture. Firstly please follow the guide for placing photos in posts and not leaving them as attachments - https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... =20&t=2357. Second I cropped your image as there was a lot of whitespace on the screen capture.

Re: TF536 Programming
Actually, the Waveshare clone didn’t need any special treatment, such as resetting. It just worked reliably.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: TF536 Programming
ok, thanks... 1 step further... programming is done successfully in about 7 seconds, but I am getting an error while verifying
I ve looked at what else I can read after programming...
Device ID
'1': IDCODE is '59616093' (in hex).
'1': : Manufacturer's ID = Xilinx xc95288xl, Version : 5
Device Checksum
'1': Reading device contents...
'1': Calculated checksum is 7584
'1': Calculated checksum matches the file checksum
Device Signature
Validating chain...
Boundary-scan chain validated successfully.
'1': Usercode is 'tf53'
May I assume that even if the verify operation fail the device is programmed successfully?

Re: TF536 Programming
I ve tested both cards now in my Amiga.
1 card is working - so programming should be done indeed successfully
The second card is reported as defective - Amiga Testkit is reporting 0MB RAM.
I will check all connections to the RAM chips. Any further hints?
