Silicon Sculptor v3.87 DOS and v4.50.0 Windows Release Notes

(Mar 28, 2005)

Silicon Sculptor DOS v3.87 and Windows v4.50.0 is a new general release of Silicon Sculptor software. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this latest release. This release features modified new algorithm support for MEC RT54SX-S devices when AFMs generated by Designer 6.1 SP1 are used. Note that for RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU, this version of Silicon Sculptor software requires AFMs to be generated or re-generated from Designer 6.1 SP1. The software also supports the improvements made to RTAX-S routing in Designer 6.1 SP1.

Note: A Silicon Sculptor II programmer must be used to program all RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU devices starting from this release; such devices can no longer be programmed on a Silicon Sculptor I programmer.
