Actel DirectC for ProASICPLUS Release Notes
(Sep 29, 2003)
Actel DirectC is designed for programming Actel's ProASICPLUS family
of devices using a Microprocessor. The programming algorithms used in
the DirectC files are specifically targeted and optimized for ProASICPLUS devices.
- Embedded
- DOS
- Windows
- Unix
- Any development system that supports ANSI C Programming.
- Microprocessor compiler for the chosen platform.
- DirectC requires a STAPL file generated by Actel
Designer Software or Actel
Libero Integrated Design Environment. The STAPL file must be
generated by Actel Designer R1-2003 SP3 or Actel Libero IDE v2.3
SP3 or higher. The STAPL file should have algorithm v15. This is
displayed in the STAPL header file.
- DirectC supports Actel's ProASICPLUS family
DirectC is designed for programming Actel's ProASICPLUS family
of devices using a Microprocessor. The programming algorithms used in
the DirectC files are specifically targeted and optimized for ProASICPLUS devices,
and therefore produce a much shorter programming time than a generic
programming solution like the Actel STAPL player. DirectC has a greater
speed advantage on smaller and slower microprocessors and systems.
DirectC consists of a set of C code files that contain the ISP programming
algorithm for ProASICPLUS devices. If you want to make minor
modifications to the provided source code, add the necessary API then
compile the source and the API together to create an executable binary
file. Once you have created a binary file, you can then download it to
the system along with the programming data file. DirectC uses the standard
STAPL file (generated from Designer or Libero) as the programming data
file.
