13.30 Device Programming

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.

IGLOO, ProASIC3, SmartFusion and Fusion devices use the FlashPoint program file generator to create a programming file. The FlashPoint interface enables the advanced security features in all three device families.
