Note: FlashPro4 uses pin 4 of the JTAG connector whereas FlashPro3 had no connection to this pin.
FlashPro4 pin 4 of the JTAG header is a PROG_MODE output drive signal. PROG_MODE toggles
between programming and normal operation. The PROG_MODE signal is intended to drive an N or
P Channel MOSFET to control the output of a voltage regulator between the programming voltage
of 1.5 V and normal operation voltage of 1.2 V. This is required for ProASIC
IGLOO PLUS V2 devices because, although they can operate at 1.2 V, they must be programmed
with a VCC core voltage of 1.5 V. Please refer to FlashPro4 Backward Compatibility with
FlashPro3 and Using FlashPro4 PROG_MODE for 1.5 V Programming of ProASIC3L, IGLOOV2,
and IGLOO PLUS V2 Devices for more information.
Pin 4 on FlashPro4 programmers MUST NOT be connected or used for anything other than its
intended purpose.
Common Issues
If the On LED does not light up after FlashPro4 driver installation, the driver might not be installed
correctly and you must troubleshoot the installation. For more information, refer to the
Software and Hardware Installation Guide
FlashPro software release notes: www.actel.com/download/program_debug/flashpro.
FlashPro4 may not operate correctly if pin 4 of the JTAG connector is improperly used. See the
above note.
