Contents and System Requirements

This chapter describes the differences between the three versions of the

ProASICPLUS evaluation board. This chapter also details the contents of the

ProASICPLUS evaluation kit and provides power supply and software system

requirements.

Evaluation Kit Contents

The ProASICPLUS evaluation kit has three board versions.

Note: There is no socket on these boards.

APA-EVAL-BRD1

This board contains all the surrounding circuitry, but no APA device. For this

board, it is assumed that you will acquire a device and solder it to the board

yourself. This allows you to use the board with any device in the APA family.

APA-EVAL-BRD300

Same as BRD1 but with an APA300 device mounted.

APA-EVAL-BRD075

Same as BRD1 but with an APA075 device mounted.

When you purchase any of the above board versions, you also receive the

following:

• Evaluation board - one of the three listed above

• The ProASICPLUS Evaluation Board User’s Guide

•CustomerLetter

• CD with design examples

For the CD contents, review the ReadMe.doc file at the top level of the

CD. As more design examples become available, the CD contents will

change. For the latest design examples, refer to the Hardware Tools

section of the Actel website:

http://www.actel.com/products/tools/hw.html

Chapter 1: Contents and System Requirements

Power Supply and Software Requirements

This section describes power supply and software requirements for the

ProASICPLUS evaluation kit.

Power Supply The ProASICPLUS evaluation board requires the following:

• Wall mount power supply

• 9V, 500mA supply with 2.1mm female connector P5 type

• Digikey part number T413-P5P-ND for US

• Digikey part number T408-P5P-ND for Europe

Software Each ProASICPLUS evaluation board requires a different version of the

software.

APA-EVAL-BRD075

This board can use the free evaluation Libero Silver version, which

does not include simulation. To include simulation, use the Libero Gold

version.

APA-EVAL-BRD300

This board requires a full Libero Platinum license.

APA-EVAL-BRD1

With the blank board, you can select any device from the ProASICPLUS family

in a 208 PQFP footprint and solder it to the board yourself.

Use the appropriate software for the device you choose. For software support

details, refer to the Actel Website:

http://www.actel.com/products/tools/support.html

Setup and Self Test

Software Installation

Since this package does not include software, this guide does not provide

software installation instructions. For software installation instructions, refer to

the Actel Installation and Licensing Guide at:

http://www.actel.com/products/tools/libero/docs.html

Testing the Evaluation Board

If the evaluation board is shipped directly from Actel, it contains a test program

that determines if the board works properly.

To test the evaluation board:

1. Supply power to the board.

2. Turn on the ON/OFF switch.

3. Perform the actions described in Table 2-1.

Table 2-1. Evaluation Board Test

Action Result Pass/Fail

too fast A sequence of LEDs light up Pass

Press and hold SW1 All LEDs are unlit Pass

Press and hold SW2 All LEDs light up except DS1 Pass

Press and hold SW3

Chapter 2: Setup and Self Test

Programming the Test file

If you want to retest the evaluation board, you can reprogram the board using

the test program at any time. Use the STAPL file test.stp or the bitstream file

test.bit. These files are included on the Evaluation Kit CD. Table 2-2 describes

the actions you should perform when retesting your evaluation board.

This design is currently implemented for the APA300 device. If you have a

device of a different size, you can recompile the design into other device sizes.

The design files are available under actelprj/eval in the Evaluation Kit CD.

For instructions on programming the device using Flash Pro, refer to the Flash

Pro User’s Guide at:

http://www.actel.com/techdocs/manuals/docs/flashproUG.pdf

Table 2-2. Retesting the Evaluation Board

Action Result Pass/Fail
