A Programming The Fusion Fpga On M1Afs-Adv-Dev-Kit - Actel Core1553 User Manual

A – Programming the Fusion FPGA on M1AFS-ADV-
DEV-KIT
Follow these steps to program a design into the Fusion FPGA.
1. Connect the J1 pins on the Actel M1AFS-ADV-DEV-KIT board to the Actel low-cost
programming stick
Figure A-1 • Connect J1 Pins on M1AFS-ADV-DEV-KIT Board
2. Connect one end of the USB mini B cable to the Actel programming stick and the other end
to the PC.
3. Connect one end of a 9 V power supply to the power input (Power1) on the M1AFS-ADV-
DEV-KIT board. Plug the supply into an electrical outlet.
Once the LCPS is recognized, the yellow ON LED will be solidly lit. If the PC prompts for the
location of the FlashPro3 drivers, browse to the FlashPro software installation folder
<FlashPro_Install_Loacation>/Drivers. Use the fp3b-cyusb.inf file if available (or fp3bload.inf
if not).
4. Launch the Actel FlashPro programming software. When using the FlashPro programming
software, the programmer selects FlashPro3. The programming stick is functionally
equivalent to a FlashPro programmer, but designed specifically for use with this Fusion
Embedded Development Kit.
5. Click the New Project button to create a new project. Set a user define project name and
location.
6. Click the Configure Device button.
7. In the Device Configuration window, browse and select the programming database (PDB)
file or STAPL (STP) file.
8. Once the programming database file is loaded, click the PROGRAM button to start
programming the Fusion FPGA. After successful programming, the programmer will show
the RUN PASSED message.
9. When the programming successfully completes, remove the LCPS, and press the system reset
button, RSTN, on the M1AFS-ADV-DEV-KIT to reset the system.
10. Verify that your design is working.
