[AVaRICE-user] Avarice with non-atmel devices

[Andrew L. <an...@fl...>]

Hello,
I've been using my IsoJtagISP jtag ice clone 
(http://www.floppyspongeonline.com/automation/isojtagisp/isojtagisp.php) 
to program and debug atmel chips for a few years now, and have used 
avarice from time to time to program from my linux box, it's a great 
little tool.

My question is, seeing as avarice is a link between a jtag interface and 
gdb, could it be used to program/debug other devices in gdb/eclipse ie 
xilinx fpga's which I've just started trying to use. It would be great 
if I could as my laptop doesn't have a parr port which most of the other 
jtag designs require, and I don't want to have to spend xxx hundreds of 
dollars on another usb jtag device when I've got one already.

Would it be simply a case of adding device descriptors into avarice for 
other devices, or is it a completely different scenario?

Regards,
