Generate a programming file

FlashPoint enables you to program security settings, FPGA Array, and FlashROM features for ProASIC3/E and Fusion devices. You can program these features separately using different programming files or you can combine them into one programming file. Each feature is listed as a silicon feature in the GUI.

You can generate a programming file with one, two, or all of the silicon features from the Generate Programming File page.

To generate a programming file:

• Enter the Output file name.
  Click the Browse button if you need to find your file or select your directory, and then enter the file name to save your output file.
   

• Select the Silicon feature(s) you want to program.
  
  Security settings
  FPGA Array
  FlashROM
  
  
   

• Click the Programming previously secured device(s) check box if you are reprogramming a device that has been secured.
  
  Because the Fusion and ProASIC3/E familyfamilies enables you to program the Security Settings separately from the FPGA Array and/or FlashROM, you must indicate if the Security Settings were previously programmed into the target device. This requirement also applies when you generate programming files for reprogramming.
   

• Enter the silicon signature(0-8 HEX characters). See Silicon Signature for more information.

• Click Next.
