Can multiple Xilinx design tools or multiple instances of the same design tool share a single Xilinx USB cable?
Yes; however, only one application can perform cable operations at a given time. For example, assume two instances of iMPACT, instance A and instance B, are connected to a single cable. If A begins a programming operation and B then attempts a programming operation, B is temporarily blocked from accessing the cable. B receives a message indicating that the cable is locked, and the operation must be performed later.
