Answers Database **Obsolete Solution**: Programmers: EZTAG: Can't find file "other.bsd" when programming chain of 9500's Record #1081 Product Family: Software Product Line: EPLD Core Product Part: EZTag Problem Title: **Obsolete Solution**: Programmers: EZTAG: Can't find file "other.bsd" when programming chain of 9500's Problem Description: Urgency: Standard General Description: While programming a chain of xc9500's with other devices present in the chain, you may see warnings saying that OTHER is only supported in BYPASS mode, and then errors that it cannot find the file "OTHER.BSD" Solution 1: The warnings are correct, and may be ignored. The error message indicates that the user interface (EZTAGUI.EXE) is out-of-date. It is generating a DOS batch file with invalid commands in it. The batch file drives the download operation, so you therefore get error messages. To fix the problem, download the latest EZTAG software from the FTP site.
