Spartan 3AN usb data cable install problem

spartan 3an cable driver

Hi,

I'm trying to install the USB data cable for my Spartan 3an board but

WARNING:iMPACT:923 - Can not find cable, check cable setup !

Well...I installed the

Xilinx Platform Cable USB Firmware Loader [ug344]

but when I do a "Cable Setup" in iMPACT, I get the message

Connecting to cable (Usb Port - USB21).
Checking cable driver.
Driver version: 1027 (1027).
Driver windrvr6.sys version = 8.1.1.0. WinDriver v8.11 Jungo (c) 1997 - 2006 Build Date: Oct 16 2006 X86 32bit SYS 12:35:07, version = 811.
Cable connection failed.

I use ISE 9.2.

Does anybody has idea what has to be done?

Thx,
Krivan

Do you see any other suspicious messages near the warning 923 message?

Try searching the Xilinx web site for that warning 923 message. I see several discussions such as these:

Hi,

No there were no other suspicious messages.
The problem has been solved and in a for me surprising way...

I did nothitng but just reinstalled the "Xilinx USB" three-times from the "Device Manager" of the Windows[as I've written, the firmware loader has already been installed]. At every attempt I let the Windows to connect to the internet and at the third installation attempt it just simply found a driver on the internet and installed it and now it works...strange and surprising but at least the cable works now...
