Love this, I have win 8 daily driver and I can`t let the fecker go as it has all my software like Xilinx Impact, and a programming tools for my FTDI and other hardware interfaces that sometimes took an age to get to work and that`s why I can`t let it go lol, and am paranoid about it crashing and all being lost, that`s why it is backed up three times ! ( and that has saved me a few times)
but I do use a Vanilla W10 also but never touched an Apple in my life :)

That is unusual choice.

I used it for few good years, but switched to Win10 simultaneously with moving to SSD drive.

Baffled why? Thats the cheapest way to do it. You can buy an expensive XIlinx programmer as an alternative.

I've tried it the raspberry pi way and the instructions on linuxjedi, but upon "xc3sprog -c matrix_creator -j" the jtag chain is empty, or there's simply no response. The first time I tried this, the pi completely locked up and I had to reboot it. Just using the xc3sprog command also gives no response.

I assume there's something missing that's not posted in the guide, or the given wiring table is wrong, or everything self destructed.

This is exactly why I wanted to avoid the linux way. Nothing ever works on linux with me behind the keys. :oops:

Deleted the whole thing, recompiled and now it works for no apparent reason. B**** and you shall receive :D

Too early... xc3sprog fails to verify. It will -always- give me a "mismatch at fuse" during verification, the fuse number always differs. UGH.

I followed Linuxjedi's guide exactly with a Pi Zero W and a fresh Raspbian install and it worked fine for me, so can confirm the wiring and instructions are good.

i used to get that when running anything near my dupont cables
