                The library is called <i>libusb-driver</i> as it was developed to support the USB cable, but later
                extended to also support parallel cables.

+               <P><B>News</B> (<I>2008-03-26</I>): Xilinx has released their own drivers based on libusb with ISE Design Suite 10.1.
+               To use them, you need to set the environment-variable <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd> to <kbd>1</kbd>
+               before running the tools. The driver on this page no longer needs to be preloaded if you only used
+               it to access USB cables. Parallel port support still seems to rely on <i>windrvr</i>, which can be
+               emulated by <i>libusb-driver</i>.</P>

+               Suite 10.1 on a 64-bit machine, the tools will not connect to the cable but output the following
+               error: <I>Cable operation is not supported when running the 32-bit version of the application on a
+               64-bit platform.</I>
+               To fix this, run the tools with <KBD>linux32</KBD> or preload the newest 32-bit version of
+               <i>libusb-driver</i>. This will lead the tools to believe that they are running on a 32-bit
+               platform and allows them to connect to the cable.
