Silicon Sculptor v3.92 DOS and v4.55.0 Windows Release Notes
(Updated Dec 6, 2005)
This version of Silicon Sculptor software may now be invoked from Libero
IDE. Silicon Sculptor DOS v3.92 and Windows v4.55.0 is a new general
release of the Silicon Sculptor software. This release features support
for Actel's new ProASIC3 and ProASIC3E Flash families as well as several
fixes to concurrent programming for AX500, AX1000, AX2000 and SX-A parts.
Notes:
RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU
Starting with the v4.50.0 release and including all subsequent releases,
RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU products require Silicon Sculptor II programmer
to program. Programming RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU products with Silicon
Sculptor I has been discontinued.
SX-A
Starting with the v4.53.0 release and all subsequent releases, programming
enhancement to SX-A devices is implemented with the enhancement previously
included in RT54SX-S and RTSX-SU devices. For all SX-A devices, new
AFMs are available with the Libero/Designer 6.2 SP1 release. The v4.53.0
release of Silicon Sculptor software can take advantage of these AFMs
by automatically using new programming conditions previously only available
in the Rad Tolerant family of devices. Older AFMs may continue to be
used and the software will automatically use the older programming
conditions in this case. Silicon Sculptor II must be used to program
with these new enhancement. A reduced but enhanced set of programming
conditions is used for programming all SX-A devices on Silicon Sculptor
I programmers.
