2.1i PROM FILES: M1 bit mirroring and XACT bit mirroring


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:

Is there a difference in the M1 and Xact prom file formats
bit mirroring?


Solution 1:

In M1 the bits are mirrored for all of the PROM formats: MCS ,EXO ,TEK, and HEX.

In previous XACT software all formats were mirrored except for the HEX format. Therefore, there is a
  difference between M1 and Xact in a HEX file format.

Refer to Prom File Formatter documention section for further
information on this issue.
