I applied your 2nd patch and now it seems to work.:-)

But after rebooting ePC, FPGA does not load its program from EEPROM. :-(
Programming FPGA directly with command line parameter "-p 1" is working fine, but of course after shutdown my system does not work again.

Anyway, if you are sure, that XC3SPROG message "Success!" is correct, I think there is another problem (hardware). And you can commit your patches to xc3sprog-project.

Tomorrow I'll have a meeting with a hardware specialist, trying to use XILINX USB adapter and iMPACT to flash it again.
I'll keep you informed about the results.
Thanks again for your valuable support!

Best regards,
Mirko
