Once you have completed your design, and you are satisfied with the back-annotated timing simulation, create your programming file. Depending upon your device family, you need to generate a Fuse, Bitstream or STAPL programming file.
Fusion and ProASIC3/E devices use the FlashPoint program file generator to create a programming file. The FlashPoint interface enables the advanced security features in ProASIC3/E and Fusion.
