9.7.2.2 Programmer Support

FlashPro®4/3/3X supports only IGLOO®, ProASIC3, SmartFusion® and Fusion family devices. The Vpump on FlashPro4/3/3X is designed to support the programming of only one device. Please make sure that Vpump, Vcc and Vjtag are provided on board for chain programming. Connect the Vpump to the header as the FlashPro software will attempt to check for all external supplies, including Vpump, to ensure successful programming. There is no limitation to the chain length; however, ensure that the JTAG signal integrity and the timing are preserved.

FlashPro and FlashPro Lite support both ProASIC^PLUS and ProASIC devices. However you cannot program both devices in the same chain.

Unless all supplies are provided on board, there is a limitation of programming eight ProASIC^PLUS or ProASIC devices in a chain.
