Silicon Sculptor v4.82.0 Windows Release Notes
(June 3, 2009)
SculptW v4.82.0 is a new general release of the Silicon Sculptor software, supporting both the Silicon Sculptor II and Silicon Sculptor 3 programmers. The Silicon Sculptor 3 programmer is a high-speed USB 2.0-based programmer.
This release introduces support for new devices in the IGLOO®, ProASIC®3, and Fusion families of devices. Support for 24 new devices has been added.
Silicon Sculptor I and Silicon Sculptor 6X can no longer be used with this version of the software. These obsolete programmers are no longer supported.
This release features everything in prior general and special releases, as well as additional items.
Should I upgrade?
All customers should upgrade to this release immediately. In general, Actel always recommends upgrading to the latest general release version of the Silicon Sculptor software. Upgrading to a special release should only be done if notified by email.
