When designing for RTAX-S, you can use the Axcelerator family of devices for prototyping. Please refer to the application note Prototyping RTAX-S Using Axcelerator Devices for more information.
Note: Designer maps the pins from the RT package to the commercial prototyping vehicle.
To generate prototype files:
From the Tools menu in Designer, select Generate Prototype. In the Generate Prototype Files dialog box, make the following selections:
Silicon Signature (Optional). Enter a 5 digit hexadecimal value in the Silicon Signature box to identify the design. Valid characters are “0” through 9, and a through f.
Output filename. Designer automatically names the file based on the <design_name>.adb file. You can change the name by entering it in the File Name box. Click Browse to change the directory. Do not add a file extension or suffix to the file name. The Designer software automatically adds the extension to the programming file name when you specify the programming format.
Generate Probe File Also. This option automatically generates a .prb file for use with Silicon Explorer
Use the JTAG Reset Pull-up Resistor: Select to enable pull-up resistors on the TRSTB pin (JTAG Reset pin which is active low). This is not part of the JTAG standard but can be useful if you want to make sure that the JTAG tap controller is not reset by mistake if the TRSTB pin is not connected. The pull-up resistor guarantees that if the pin is not driven to low (active), the pin is left in an inactive state (high).
Use
the Global Set Fuse: Select to set flip-flops to a known state
after power-up. If not selected all flip-flops are set to '0' at power
up. If this option is used, all flip-flops are set to '1' at power up.
Click OK. Designer generates the AFM file. After you generate a prototype, Designer automatically returns to the RT project. You must open your new prototyping ADB file manually if you want to verify it. When you create a new prototype, your prototype ADB file appears in a new directory in your Libero IDE impl folder.
