I am having Spartan3AN (XC3S50AN) FPGA board and platform cable USB II with me. Can you Please let me know how to monitor the status of FPGA I/O's in PC via JTAG?
I had downloaded urjtag-0.10.exe (867.1KB) and the same had been installed. when i open the application, it shows the error as attached.
Please let me know what is the cause for the problem.
I had installed the cygwin dll version. but still the same error dialog occurs while opening the UrJTAG application. Many forum results telling that chipscope pro itself will support to monitor the FPGA I/O's in PC. adding just the ILA core in the FPGA HDL design. will it be easy to do this? if yes, what is the procedure to do it using chipscope pro 10.1?
I am reasonably sure that libusb-1.0 doesn't have anything to do per se with cygwin. Put another way: I seriously doubt installing cygwin does magically install libusb. The error message says it cannot find the libusb dll. Are you sure sure that you 1) read the manual and 2) it does not mention installing libusb anywhere?
If that sort of thing is not for you, maybe it makes more sense to use chipscope as jimwu88 suggested.

Regarding UrJtag, i will read the complete manual and get back to you. if cygwin not having libusb.dll, is there anything other thing to be installed to unmiss the libusb.dll

Dunno, you tell me. You're the one who's going to read the manual. ;-)
I have only used urjtag under linux, so no need for cygwin there. It did need a recent version of libusb back then. And I am familiar with cygwin on windoze, hence me being reasonably sure libusb is not in there. At least it didn't use to be and I would be seriously surprised if it somehow sneaked it's way in there.
Beware that there are 2 major versions out there. libusb-0.1 and libusb-1.0. I don't know which version ... *takes look at local binary* ... okay, my linux version uses libusb-0.1. And I see on your screenshot it whines about libusb0.dll so I would guess that you need libusb-0.1.
Which means the links I gave you are the correct ones.
"libusb-win32 is a port of the USB library libusb 0.1 ..."
Yes, it is pretty straightforward to use Chipscope cores. You need to use the ICON and ILA core. I don't know of tutorials for version 10.1, but you can check out the tutorial for 13.1 below. It hasn't changed all that much.
