Problem Title:
CPLD, M1.3/M1.4: How to run the JTAG Programmer, Hardware Debugger and
PROM File Formatter as a stand alone?



Problem Description:
KEYWORDS: download, stand alone, lab install, cpld, 9500, hardware debugger, pro
m file formatter

URGENCY: Standard.

DESCRIPTION: Sometimes, it's necessary to download from another PC which doesn't
 have the complete M1.3 installation. How (if possible) can you use the JTAG pro
grammer to download to a cpld? There are no files on the web to do this.


Solution 1:

From M1.3, use the "Core Technology CD." When you come across the "Select Type o
f Installation," select "Lab Machine Installation." This installation allows you
 to run the JTAG programmer, PROM file formatter, shared DLLs, and Hardware debu
gger and only takes up to 10MB.



Solution 2:

For M1.4, use the "Design Implementation Tools" CD. For the type of installation
, select "Lab Machine Installation." This will take up 11MB and also consists of
 the JTAG programmer, PROM file formatter, shared DLLs, and the Hardware Debugge
r.
