devices:
- APA1000-CQ352
- APA1000-CQ208
- APA300-CQ352
- APA300-CQ208
Silicon Sculptor software now:
- Automatically selects the correct package when given a STAPL file
- Supports SMPA-352CQ-ACTEL and SMPA-208CQ-ACTEL adapter modules
- Prevents securing blank devices (SX/SXA/EX)
- Provides partial ChainBuilder support
- SARno33595: Adapter module dimensions for FG484
incorrect
- SARno33539: AX Blankcheck should be at VPP=1.5V
- SARno32123: Exit on the correct fuse failure
- SAR 29998: The stand-alone secure command does not
function. When you secure the device (lock or permanent lock), the
error message,
"Action Name Invalid" appears. This is intended behavior.
- SAR 30695: In Silicon Sculptor software 3.75 DOS
(16 bit), the self-test is failing for all SMPA modules.
Workaround: The self-test does not fail on any modules. The
ISP module self-test gives the following message, "Testing Current
regulators: You must install SM48D or SM48DB before continuing."
After you install the SM48D or SM48DB module, the self-test continues.
- SAR 30558: In Windows, the Path + Filename doesn't
always fit into the text field.
- Design Name Readback for Flash devices - support for this feature
through STAPL programming will be available in a future version of
the software.
- ChainBuilder "CheckChain" action does not work: overshifting
error, and lack of POWER_DOWN function.
