[Xc3sprog-users] Man page for xc3sprog

[Joris v. R. <jo...@sr...>]

Hi,

I made a start with a Unix man page for xc3sprog. It's still lacking in 
detail and completeness. Please tell me what you think. One challenge 
will be to keep this page up to date while xc3sprog evolves.

Some other thoughts:

It seems that the -E and -F options currently have no real function.

One of the supported file formats is called "MCS". However, the .MCS 
files that I get from IMPACT are in fact compatible with the "IHEX" 
style of xc3sprog, which is different from the "MCS" style.
Do you know of a use for the "MCS" style? Otherwise it should be removed 
to avoid confusing users.

I'd like to put a list of supported JTAG devices in the man page. As far 
as I know, all Spartan-3, Virtex-5, Spartan-6, XCFnnS and XCFnnP devices 
are supposed to work.
What more? Virtex-2, Virtex-6, CoolRunner, AVR?
Which types of SPI flash?

Similarly, I'd like to make a list of supported JTAG cables, with full 
name and vendor. It would also be good to have such information on the 
web, so that potential new users can decide whether xc3sprog is suitable 
for their situation.

Greetings, Joris.
