9.4.7.2 Configuring the Security Settings

Once you have created your project and connected your programmer, you are ready to load your PDB file.

To configure the security settings:

  1. Click the Configure Device button. The Single Device Configuration window appears in FlashPro®.

    ???
  3. Select the desired device and package (if available) from the drop down list, and specify the filename and location. Click OK. FlashPoint opens. IGLOO®, ProASIC3, SmartFusion® and Fusion family devices support securing the device with a pass key as well as encrypting programming files using an AES key. Flash devices can also be permanently locked, preventing reprogramming.
  4. Check the Security Settings checkbox to secure the unsecured device.
    Note: Make a note of the security keys that you are using. Once a device is secured, it cannot be reprogrammed without those keys.

  5. Click Finish.

After configuring the security settings, proceed to program the device. For step‑by‑step instructions, see the Programming a Device section in the Single STAPL/PDB File Basic Tutorial.
