Part Number: FLASHPRO4
FLASHPRO4
Key Features
- Supports in-system programming
- Supports IEEE 1149 JTAG programming through STAPL
- Supports USB 2.0 available
Overview
Hardware
FlashPro4 is a programmer supporting all FPGAs in the PolarFire, SmartFusion2, IGLOO2, RTG4, IGLOO, ProASIC3, (including RT ProASIC3), SmartFusion and Fusion families. FlashPro4 offers extremely high performance through the use of USB 2.0 and is high-speed compliant for full use of the 480 Mbps bandwidth. Powered exclusively via USB, FlashPro4 provides a VPUMP voltage of 3.3 V for programming these devices.
Multiple FlashPro4 programmers can be connected to a single PC using USB hubs, enabling the end user to set up a small-scale production environment with concurrent ISP occurring across multiple boards and the FlashPro software.
Software
To work with FlashPro4 programmer you need FlashPro or FlashPro Express programming tools.
FlashPro or FlashPro Express tools are available as follows:
- Standalone Programming and Debug tool
- Integrated with Libero® SoC V11.9 or Earlier and Libero® SoC V12.0 or Later.
Package Contents
1 unit of FlashPro4 programmer standalone unit
