I use http://www.intellitech.com/products/schematiclogicprobe.asp
which lets me toggle pins with a view of the schematic - if netlist
avaialble..    It works both with Xilynx Pciii/pc4 and altera
byteblaster (no USB though).   they have all the FPGA device JTAG files
(bsdl) in their libraries.

you can get a 90 day eval license and I just renew the eval license.
They don't seem to care, i've renewed six times.  I think they are
interested in bigger fish and not their main business.

There is JTAG code in the not very active open source project "open wince".

Jam code etc seems to be dominated by Altera.  What I hoped would be a 
useful website http://www.jamisp.com/ jumps straight to Altera.

There also doesn't seem to be much information on the Jam language :-(

Many thanks.

I'm not familiar with Jam code and was hoping for a more friendly interface 
for a beginner.

why cant you just use a STAPL player??

Antti

Does anyone know of any software, ideally freeware, which can use the above 
JTAG interfaces to exercise other JTAG interfaces on non FPGA devices?

In my case I'd like to read the state of pins on an unrelated device.
