Adam, excellent work and thanks for fixing this bug. As the manufacturer responsible for this mistake, I offer to apply the fix for the (few) jtag-serial boards that are already shipped out by now. Please keep in mind though that the boards carrying this bug work perfectly fine in USB full-speed mode, at over 10 times the speed of the official Xilinx cable! :-) If you have solid soldering skills, you can follow Adam's nicely illustrated rework steps to apply the fix yourself, otherwise you can return the jtag-serial board and we will fix it for you. To avoid excessive shipping costs, you can also wait for a convenient fix-party opportunity for example at a conference or get-together. The offer to fix this bug for those who don't want to do it themselves remains for the lifetime of the product.
It's up to the preferences of each customer. I have already started contacting a few places that I know still have multiple unfixed boards in one location, those are relatively easy to exchange and fix. If you have a Milkymist One jtag-serial board and want the high-speed fix applied now, please email me at [email protected]. I apologize for this mistake, on the other hand I am happy we were able to locate the root cause relatively quickly, and with only about 25 Milkymist One in the wild we will be able to get everybody to HIGH-SPEED soon :-) Happy hacking, way to go Milkymist One, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ http://lists.milkymist.org/listinfo.cgi/devel-milkymist.org IRC: #milkymist@Freenode Twitter: www.twitter.com/milkymistvj Ideas? http://milkymist.uservoice.com
