I want to keep multiple versions of Xilinx design tools on my host system. Will Xilinx USB cables continue to work if I switch back and forth between different design tool versions?
Xilinx cables are backwards compatible with all previous versions of Xilinx Design Tools that support Xilinx cables. Switching between versions is seamless. Xilinx design tools and cables are designed to use the driver and firmware from the newest design tool installation. For information about maintaining multiple ISE Foundation versions on a single host, see (Xilinx Answer 9815).
