Libero IDE v8.4 Service Pack 2 (SP2) Release Notes

(Nov 6, 2008)

Thank you for your interest in Actel's Libero Integrated Design Environment (IDE) v8.4 Service Pack 2.

What's New in this Service Pack
Additional IGLOO nano and ProASIC3 nano Device Support

Libero IDE v8.4 SP2 supports additional IGLOO nano and ProASIC3 nano devices. Nano devices offer tremendous value and flexibility for high volume markets. Competitively priced in the market, nano devices are perfect ASIC or ASSP replacements while retaining the historical FPGA advantages of flexibility and quick time-to-market, low cost, low power, and compact designs. Additional nano devices supported in SP2 are shown below:

IGLOO nano Package Speed Grade Temperature Range
AGLN010V2 48 QFN STD COM, IND
AGLN010V5
AGLN015V2 68 QFN STD COM, IND
AGLN015V5
AGLN020V2 68 QFN STD COM, IND
AGLN020V5

A3PN125* 100 VQFP STD, -1, -2 COM, IND
A3PN250* 100 VQFP STD, -1, -2 COM, IND

* When selecting these devices in the New Project/Device Selection Wizard, you will be directed to the equivalent size IGLOO nano or ProASIC3 nano 'Z' device. 'Z' feature grade devices are available now for designs that do not require the use of Schmitt trigger, hot-swap capability, or bus hold in the Flash*Freeze mode (IGLOO nano only). The programming file generated for a nano 'Z' design can be used to program both 'Z' (available now) and standard nano devices as they become available.
