is it possible...?

...to use the jtag/usb-blaster to send data from the pc to the development board to control it (i.e using the hyperterminal or something like that to send control characters)? :confused:

libusb permits using USB port from user space. This is a low level library, in that case, you must have on your development kit a hardware or firmware that implements an USB device. In this case you can't use the USB blaster connector, an additional one is needed.
