What's New in this Update

Back to top

This package updates your CoreConsole IP Database with new versions of 3 IP cores.

  • CoreMP7 1.2
    • This 1.2 update corrects a problem with CoreMP7 executing on Fusion parts. It does not change the CoreMP7 on A3P at all, so you can continue with your A3P designs unchanged. You must use v 1.2 or later for all Fusion designs and we recommend you use 1.2 or later for all new designs.
  • CoreAI 2.1
    • For users of CoreAI with an Obfuscated license type, there was an error if the component was configured to use the ADC FIFO. This is corrected in version 2.1.
      If you have only an Obfuscated license (not RTL) AND are using the ADC FIFO you should replace the 2.0 version of the component with the 2.1 in your design. All new designs must use the CoreAI 2.1
  • CoreAhbNvm 1.1
    • CoreAhbNvm 1.1 resolves issues with executing programs from Fusion NVM. If you are using CoreAhbNvm for this purpose in your design, replace version 1.0 with this version 1.1 or later.
    • Version 1.1 also improves compatibility with the latest NVM simulation models.

System Requirements

Back to top

A working, licensed version of CoreConsole 1.1 must be installed before running this database update. Please refer to the Actel website for instructions on downloading and installing CoreConsole.

Licensing

Back to top

CoreConsole 1.1 requires a CoreConsole node-locked license and a SysBASIC Subsystem IP license. A new license can be obtained for free from Actel's Software Licenses and Registration System.

Your existing CoreConsole and SysBASIC license will work with these updates.

Known Limitations and Workarounds

Components Filter Default in CoreConsole

Components Filter

The Components Filter in CoreConsole defaults to Listing versions of components. When you have multiple versions of components it can be less confusing to select List What? Component (see above), which shows only the latest version of the components. However in version 1.1 of CoreConsole, this setting is not saved after you shut down and you must set it every session.

  • Nothing is deleted from your IP Database – new versions of these components are added
  • Your existing licenses will continue to work

Updating to a New Version in an Existing Design

Back to top

For new designs no special actions are necessary, simply ensure that you are using the latest versions above.

If you have an older version of one of these components in your design and need to update it please:

  1. Delete the Core (CoreMP7, CoreAI or CoreAhbNvm) that you wish to replace
  2. Add the latest version of the Core
  3. Auto-stitch or manually reconnect the Core
  4. Configure the Core
  5. Save
To add the latest version of a Core, click to select it, ensure that the correct version is displayed in the Version window and click the Add button.
