I bought a bunch of CPLDs from E-bay some times ago and to my surprise, ISE did not recognize them and when I used iMPACT to program the device, I could see the CPLD in the JTAG chain but when I tried to erase the device it gave me an error message:
.
So it seems like none of the rev '0000' type CPLDs are supported by any version of modern version of ISE.
After some search, I found that Xilinx has ISE web pack 3.1i available to download and that one supports programming of old 5V CPLDs.
You can fin the SW and all other very old version of the program at:
https://www.xilinx.com/direct/webpack/33wp81/webpack_9500_prog.exe
The only problem is that it does not support Platform USB cable.
I would like to know if you know of any other JTAG programmer that supports these old CPLDs and a USB cable?
Thanks in advance for your help.
