SOURCE FILE REQUIREMENTS -
ACTEL Devices |
ACTEL source files must be provided for each device. These files will allow Test
Software Systems to develop test vectors for in-circuit testing.
REQUIREMENTS
| Source Files Required |
: |
.EDN & .PIN (Both are required) |
| Design Software |
: |
Actel Designer Series (ADS)Software |
| Supported Families |
: |
ACT1, ACT2, ACT3, 1200XL,
3200DX, MX, SX |
DEFINITIONS
| The .EDN file is a flattened EDIF-style netlist. |
| The .PIN file defines the external pins. |
TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS to generate .EDN and .PIN files:
| 1. |
From the ADS software, select menu option FILE --> EXPORT. |
| 2. |
Specify options to export .EDN & .PIN files from your .ADB file. |
| 3. |
If using ADS version 3.1 software, you must take an additional step to flatten the
.EDN file, as follows:
From DOS, run the command:
edn2adl FAM:<FAMILY> <FILENAME>
then run:
adl2edn FAM:<FAMILY> FLAT:T <FILENAME>
For example:
edn2adl FAM:ACT1 u2
adl2edn FAM:ACT1 FLAT:T u2
|
| 4. |
The resultant .EDN and .PIN files should now be in the proper format and may be
forwarded to TEST SOFTWARE SYSTEMS.
Please include the associated component reference designator with the files. |
