FlashPro5 drivers. For instructions on how to install the Libero software and SoftConsole, see Libero Software Installation and Licensing Guide. For instructions on how to download and install Microsemi DirectCores, SGCores, and driver firmware cores, see Installing IP Cores and Drivers User Guide. In order to design with Microsemi FPGAs and SoC, these IP cores must be installed on the PC where Libero SoC is installed while designing with Microsemi FPGAs and SoCs.
