Keyowrds: eztag, patch, latest, version, date, fix

Urgency: Standard

General Description:

This file contains detailed descriptions of all EZTag software patches
available to customers and FAEs. Each patch is available in PC, Sun and
HP versions as appropriate.

Please note that the dates listed in each file description refers to the

Solution 1:

File Name:	   EZTAG_PC.ZIP (PC),EZTAG_SN.TAR.Z (Sun),EZTAG_HP.TAR.Z (HP)
Last Updated:	   02/20/97
Affected Products: XACT-CPLD  v6.01 and earlier
		   XABEL-CPLD v6.12 and earlier
		   Foundation v6.02 and earlier


			    Affected
Contents      Date    Ver   Products   Ver    Description

EZTAG.EXE     6/6/97	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added modified X-Checker design
				       6.10   to increase reliabilty on newer
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   cables.
				       6.11
			    Foundation 6.01
	     03/10/97 6.05  XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added WIN'95 compatiblity
				       6.10   (no longer overwrites pif
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10    files)
				       6.11
				       6.12 - Internal data structure modified
			    Foundation 6.01   to support more than 16 devices
				       6.02   in JTAG chain

                              - Ported to HPUX v10.x

	     11/04/96 6.04  XACT-CPLD  6.01 - XC9572 programming support
				       6.10   added
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				       6.11 - Improvements to ERASE and
			    Foundation 6.01   PROGRAM algorithms

                              - Improved error checking of
                                non-Xilinx BSDL files

                              - Corrected ordering of
                                Usercode bits

	      9/12/96 6.03  XACT-CPLD  6.00 - Improvements to ERASE algorithm
				       6.10
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10 - Updated to enable programming
				       6.11   when first device in JTAG chain
			    Foundation 6.01   is not an XC9500 device

                              - Algorithm change reduces peak
                                current consumption when in
                                ISP mode

	      7/31/96	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Corrects verification failures
				       6.10   that occur after programming:
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   Program and Verify process
				       6.11   Verify process
			    Foundation 6.01



All other     6/10/97	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added modified X-Checker design
EZTag files			       6.00   to increase reliabilty on newer
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   cables.
				       6.11
			    Foundation 6.01

	      03/10/97	   XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Added WIN'95 compatiblity
				      6.10   (no longer overwrites pif
			   XABEL-CPLD 6.10    files)
				      6.11
				      6.12
			   Foundation 6.01
				      6.02
					   - Ported to HPUX v10.x

	      11/04/96	   XACT-CPLD  6.01  - XC9572 programming support
				      6.10    added
			   XABEL-CPLD 6.10
				      6.11
			   Foundation 6.01

	      9/12/96	   XACT-CPLD  6.01  - EZSIZE.EXE memory sizing
				      6.10    executable eliminated to speed up
			   XABEL-CPLD 6.10    download on PC. EZTag now
				      6.11    requires a minimum of 16MBytes
			   Foundation 6.01    RAM

All other     8/08/96	    XACT-CPLD  6.01 - Updated to enable programming of
EZTag files			       6.00   multiple devices of different
			    XABEL-CPLD 6.10   device types in same JTAG chain.
				       6.11   For instance, if chain contained
			    Foundation 6.01   95108->9536->95108, software
					      would think that the third device
					      in the chain was a 9536 and would
					      not let you program it.

                              - Updated to enable bypassing of
                                non-Xilinx devices in the chain.

                              - SVF file generation made
                                available through user interface
                                on PC, not just command line
                                interface

                              - Corrected BSDL files for XC9536
                                and XC95216

                              - XC95216HQ208 and XC95180HQ208
                                BSDL file changes because pins 66
                                and 69 are GND not I/O
