Lab Programming and Debug Tools

Our lab programming and debug tools provide you with a complete set of tools to debug Microchip FPGAs in a lab or production environment. These tools program and debug PolarFire® SoC, PolarFire FPGA, RTG4™, SmartFusion® 2 , IGLOO® 2, IGLOO series and ProASIC® 3 series FPGAs. Explore the following lab debug and programming tools:  

  • FlashPro: Provides JTAG programming for Flash FPGAs on the Windows® platform for legacy FPGA families
  • FlashPro Express: Updated version of JTAG and In-System Programming (ISP) for Flash FPGAs on Windows and Linux®
  • SmartDebug: A stand-alone program to debug FPGA resources on the fly without reprogramming or recompiling the designs
  • Job Manager: Provides support for program jobs for regular and secured production programming flow

Program and debug a stand-alone system within the lab environment for design, verification and validation of the design under test to quickly find and fix bugs. In addition, these tools can be utilized in conjunction with the Secure Production Programming Solution (SPPS) to program the FPGA devices. This is easily completed using the Thales FIPS 140-2 Level 3-certified Hardware Security Modules (HSMs), custom firmware and the state-of-the-art security protocols built into every PolarFire SoC, PolarFire, SmartFusion 2 SoC and IGLOO 2 FPGA.

Important Notes:

  • Instructions to verify software downloads in:

Windows:

  • Open command prompt on windows (windows+R)
  • Enter the following command (replacing [FILENAME] and [HASH] with file path and hash algorithm, respectively.) to validate the checksum:
  • certutil -hashfile [FILENAME] [HASH]

For example:

  1. Certutil -hashfile <path_to_installer> MD5
  2. Certutil -hashfile <path_to_installer> SHA256

Linux:

Enter the following command on terminal to validate the checksum:

  • md5sum <path_to_installer>
  • sha256sum <path_to_installer>
