Chapter 2: Installation Installing the Identify Software
is older than 5.05b, install the driver included with the
Identify/Identify Pro software as outlined below.
You might already have the driver installed by the vendor tools, so you
must check that you have the correct version. The Identify tool requires
either of the following:
– The old WinDriver 5.05b or later
– The new WinDriver version 6 or later.
2. Make sure you are logged on as administrator to install a new driver.
3. Open a shell by doing one of the following:
– Select Start Menu->Run. Enter cmd in the Open field and click OK.
– Select Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt from the Start menu.
4. Go to the bin directory where you installed the Identify/Identify Pro RTL
Debugger software, and run wdreg.exe.
5. Install the WinDriver kernel module on the target computer:
install_dir/bin/wdreg.exe -inf install_dir\bin\windrvr6.inf
install
Note that you must enter the full path to the .inf file.
6. Reboot your system.
Installing the Linux Parallel Port Driver
The Identify/Identify Pro Debugger communicates with the hardware through
the parallel port and uses parallel port drivers to access this port on a Linux
system. The kind of driver used varies with the vendor tool.

The Identify/Identify Pro Debugger uses the same windrvr6 driver used by the
Xilinx iMPACT software programming tool. The driver should be installed
with the vendor tools.
