Low-Cost Programming Stick (LCPS)
Interface
The development board can be programmed by the low-cost programming stick or via a 10-pin FP3
header
programmed the same way as IGLOO PLUS, ProASIC3, and Fusion FPGA devices.
The LCPS is a special version for the FlashPro3 programming circuitry that is compatible with FlashPro3
and the generic FlashPro programming software. The LCPS, like the IGLOO nano board, is RoHS-
compliant and is completely lead (Pb) free.
To use the LCPS with the FlashPro software, select FlashPro3 from the list of programmer types. The
LCPS behaves exactly as if it were a regular encased FlashPro3 programmer. The LCPS shipped with
this Starter Kit is designed for use with the IGLOO nano board and is not supplied as a separately
orderable item from Actel Corporation. The 12-pin female connector socket is designed to interface with
the 12-pin right-angle male header on the IGLOO nano kit. One of the pins is a special VJTAGENB signal
that goes high when programming is taking place and returns to a low level when programming has
completed. The IGLOO nano board uses this signal to effect a change in the value of VCC from 1.2 V to
1.5 V, which is required for programming all IGLOO nano devices.
You do not need to have the LCPS connected to the IGLOO nano board to operate it once the FPGA has
been programmed. The Actel IGLOO nano board only needs the LCPS connected when programming
the IGLOO AGLN250V2-VQG100.
Note:
Figure 3-14 • FPGA Programming Headers Schematic
The LCPS supplied with this kit is intended for use with the IGLOO nano Starter Kit. An LCPS
supplied for another kit, although electrically and functionally equivalent, may not connect
seamlessly with the IGLOO nano Starter Kit board.
