Formatting an SPI Flash PROM File

After generating the program file, double-click Generate PROM, ACE, or JTAG File

to launch the iMPACT software, as shown in

Figure 12-6

.

After iMPACT starts, double-click PROM File Formatter, as shown in

Figure 12-7

.

Choose 3rd Party SPI PROM as the target PROM type, as shown in

Figure 12-8

. Select

from any of the PROM File Formats; the Intel Hex format (MCS) is popular. The PROM

Formatter automatically swaps the bit direction as SPI Flash PROMs shift out the most-

significant bit (MSB) first. Enter the Location of the directory and the PROM File Name.

Click Next > when finished.
