Hi, 

Thank you for having interest in this JTAG software.

Yes. This tool is based on NAXJP.
I wanted to remodel NAXJP to the thing refined more, and made this.

Therefore, programming of XILINX has been taken into consideration
 from the beginning of project.

But now, only XC95 CPLD and XC18V configure ROM are able to be programed.
Direct write to FPGA will be realized until the end of this month.
