FLASHPRO4

FlashPro v3.3 provides hi-speed USB support for programming Actel' newest Flash family, the ProASIC3/E family, on the new FlashPro3 programmer via USB 2.0. The FlashPro3 programmer is USB 2.0 capable but will also function at slightly reduced speed on PCs equipped with only full-speed USB 1.1 ports. Hi, this is a description for developers like me, who have to do FPGA design on Actel / Microsemi chips with Libero. I began with FPGA design a few months ago and it took me as long to get Libero working on Fedora 16 Linux. So you can hopefully save some time through this description.

This quickstart card applies only to the FlashPro4 device programmer.
Software Installation
If you are already using Actel's Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE), you have the
Driver
FlashPro software installed as part of Libero IDE. If you are using the FlashPro4 device programmer
for standalone programming or on a dedicated machine, download and install the latest release of the
FlashPro software from the Actel website. The installation will guide you through the setup.
Complete the software installation before connecting the FlashPro4 device programmer to your PC.

After installing the software successfully, connect one end of the USB cable to the FlashPro4 device
programmer and the other end to your PC’s USB port. The Found Hardware Wizard will open twice.

Use the wizard to install the driver automatically (recommended). If the Found Hardware Wizard
cannot find the drivers automatically, then ensure you have properly installed the FlashPro software
prior to installing the hardware. If the drivers still cannot be installed automatically, then install them
If FlashPro was installed as part of the Libero IDE default installation, the drivers are located at
C:/Libero/Designer/Drivers/Manual. For a standalone FlashPro default installation, the drivers are
located at C:/Actel/FlashPro/Drivers/Manual. Actel recommends the automatic driver installation.

QUICKFLASH PROGRAMMER FOR MICROSEMI

Actel Driver Updater

The QuickFlash Programmer is Embeddetech’s off-the-shelf solution for programming all Actel FPGAs in-system. The programmer is highly configurable, and is capable of storing up to 32 FPGA images (.DAT or .STPL files). The programmer’s configuration allows a custom script to be run when the Program button is pressed, allowing any number of devices connected to the JTAG chain to be programmed. Both the FlashPro3 (10-pin) and FlashPro Lite (26-pin) programming interfaces are supported, guaranteeing that the Programmer is capable of programming your existing design. Due to its configurability and standard USB interface, the QuickFlash Programmer for Microsemi is ideal for any development, manufacturing, or field upgrade requirements.

FEATURES

Actel Driver License Test

  • Standard USB Interface

    No parallel port interface adapters needed! The QuickFlash Programmer supports standard USB host and USB device interfaces.

  • USB Host

    A USB host port is available to conveniently copy image files from a USB thumb drive onto the Programmer, and run scripts from a text file on the thumb drive.

  • USB Device

    A USB device port is available for communicating with the programmer, setting up scripts manually one operation at a time, and monitoring the Programmer’s activity during a “Program” operation for diagnostic purposes. Once the programmer is configured, however, neither the USB host nor device ports are needed… just power the programmer, plug the programming cable into your target, and press the “Program” button.

  • Configuration Wizard

    The QuickFlash Programmer configuration process is extremely easy, using the QuickFlash Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard sets up the programming script after questions about your programming requirements are answered, and then the wizard can directly configure the Programmer over USB. The configuration file can be saved and reused for other QuickFlash Programmers.

  • Full JTAG Chain Support

    The Programmer’s script can specify any number of devices on the JTAG chain to be programmed with unique images, all with the press of one button.

  • STAPL File Pre-Decompression

    STAPL files store FPGA data in a compressed format, which normally is decompressed for each programming operation. The QuickFlash programmer decompresses the STAPL file only during the first programming operation and stores the decompressed data non-volatilely. All subsequent programming operations use the previously decompressed data, accelerating programming time.

  • Universal Device Compatibility

    The QuickFlash programmer can program all Actel FPGAs, including ProASICPLUS FPGAs.

  • Cassy Case

    The Programmer ships in a re-useable foam-lined carrying case, for convenient and frequent deployment of the programmer for remote field upgrades.
