13.31.4.1 AFS Programming

In addition to FPGA Array, FlashROM and security setting, the Fusion devices provide Embedded Flash Memory Blocks (FB) for both Analog configuration initialization and regular memory storage. Depending on the targeted AFS device, you may have one, two, or four FBs available to you. FlashPoint enables you to initialize the FB Instance(s), as desribed in the Embedded Flash Memory help.

To generate a programming file:

1. Select the Silicon feature(s) you want to program.

   Security Settings

   FPGA Array

   FlashROM

   Embedded Flash Memory Block

   

   Note: Check the check box in the Program column to enable block modification.
2. Check the Programming previously secured devices(s) box if you want to program previously secured devices.
3. Enter the Silicon signature.
4. Depending upon the Silicon features you selected, click Finish or Next.

If you click Next, follow the instructions in the appropriate dialog box. If you click Finish, the Generate Programming Files dialog box appears. Use this dialog box box to specify the programming file name, location, and output format (STAPL file, SVF file, PDB file, DirectC DAT file, 1532 file).

For more information on DAT files, refer to the Data File Generator (DatGen) section of the DirectC User's Guide.
