FAQ’s for Actel’s Antifuse FPGA Programming 23

58. Is there a way to determine if the *.afm file is corrupted?

Ans. After loading the *.afm file in Silicon Sculptor, check whether the log file (C:\BP\DATALOG) has

been loaded successfully. Then regenerate the *.afm file using the same version of Designer and

compare the regenerated *.afm file against the existing file; they should be identical. Make sure to zip the

*.afm file to transfer it out of the host computer.

Note: Prior to SculptW v5.54, the programming used to fail if there was any blank space or carriage

return. Starting v5.54 programming will continue even if there is blank space or carriage return. So you

should look for other character differences in the *.afm file if you are using v5.54.

59. Generating a programming file in Designer, returns the following error

message: "You are not licensed to program this device. Please contact

Actel Customer Support for further information". Why?

Ans. You are using a 45-days Platinum Evaluation license. This license restricts generating a

programming file. You can either buy a full Platinum license or use a one-year Gold license, if it supports

your target device. For more information on device support, refer to

www.actel.com/products/software/libero/default.aspx#device.

60. Can I program an RTSXSU (UMC) device with the *.afm file created for an

RT54SXS (MEC) device or vice versa?

Ans. You can ONLY target an RT54SXS device in Libero IDE or Designer. RTSXSU device selection is

only available in Silicon Sculptor.

You can load the *.afm file and program a mixed batch of RTSXSU and RT54SXS devices with any of the

two devices selected in Silicon Sculptor.

61. Can I program a -1 speed grade device with the *.afm file created for a

standard speed grade device?

Ans. Yes, the programming software does not check the speed grade. However, you may have

functionality problems due to different timing numbers.
