IMPACT : Can't open /dev/parport0: No such file or directory

Question

Why the following IMPACT log with JTAG ?

Can't open /dev/parport0: No such file or directory
Can't open /dev/parport1: No such file or directory
Can't open /dev/parport2: No such file or directory
Can't open /dev/parport3: No such file or directory

1. ​Xiling ISE is supported only on certain Linux distros. Check the support for your version (your P.20131013 corresponds with Xiling ISE 14.7) https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/18419.html

14.x

• Windows XP Pro/Windows 7 Pro 32/64-bit/Windows Server 2008 - ISE, ChipScope, EDK, Sysgen, ISIM
• RHEL WS 5 32/64-bit, RHEL WS 6 32/64-bit - ISE, ChipScope, EDK, ISIM, Sysgen
• SUSE 32/64-bit - ISE, ChipScope, EDK, ISIM, Sysgen

Note: In the ISE release "supported platforms" are only designated by the major version. However, testing and official support is limited to platform versions that were released early enough prior to the ISE release (about two months) in order that complete testing and compatibility could be ensured.

For example: ISE 14.7 was released in Oct 3, 2013. RHEL was released Nov. 21, 2013. Therefore RHEL 6.5 was never tested or officially supported for ISE 14.7.

2. During installation, you need to follow the steps shown in Xilinx AR# 54381, refer to the section On Linux: https://www.xilinx.com/support/answers/54381.html

3. If the above is correct, your cable is either damaged, bad type or wrong connected

Answer 2

The JTAG cable detection issue is solved by inserting "source /opt/Xilinx/14.7/ISE_DS/settings64.sh" into $HOME/.bashrc

However, I still have the following CRC error even though IMPACT tool said that bitstream loading is completed.
