Hardware Debugger M1_3.7: Is XC5200 supported?


Problem Description:
Keywords: hardware, debugger, config, readback, 5200

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

How can the Hardware Debugger M1_3.7 features be used to
configure and readback XC5200 devices?


Solution 1:

The Hardware Debugger version M1.3 can target XC5200 devices,
but only for download configuration.  Verification and
ReadCapture are disabled.  This is because the Debugger cannot
use a bitstream (.bit) file, it must use either a rawbits
(.rbt) or PROM (.mcs, .exo, .tek) file.  For any targeted
device, all features other than download are disabled if a .bit
file is not used.
