I'm wondering if the Xilinx Platform Cable USB, model DLC9G is supported. So this is a request to add descriptions to the "Hardware supported by xc3sprog" webpage that make this easy to see.
It seems to be new hardware. I even didn't know that it exists. So I can't tell anything about it as long as people who have the dongle don't report about their experiments with their dongle.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Since I don't really have an idea how to find out, I just tried xc3sprog -c with a few random arguments,such as xc3sprog -c ftdi, xc3sprog -c bbv2_2 and xc3sprog -c xpc. The first two gave: "Could not open FTDI device (using libftdi): device not found", the third one "No dongle found".

The thread is about a somehow copied verion of the cable.
I understand your question as if you have a original cable.
Install the Xilinx cable software, and the firmware load should be added to
/etc/modprobe.

Does the dongle work with other software on that machine? Are you sure you
don't have a bad cable, bad USB port or bad hardware?
I've now tried with different cables on different USB ports of the machine, both with a USB hub in between and without. The result is always the same.
The cables and USb ports work fine with other USB devices on the same machine.
It has been a few years since I used the dongle. Back then it worked when I used it with Xilinx software and Windows on a different machine.

This is not a new dongle. Try it, it should work...

You need to load the firmware to the dongle.
