A new tool for updating Actel A3P-family chips
Q: What is d2prog?
A: d2prog is a tool for updating Actel A3P-family chips such as D2Pro and D2CKey.
Q: How does it work?
A:
A flat cable connects the chip to the programmer (if supported), and a
mini-USB connects the programmer to your computer. If the chip does not
have a flat cable connection, soldered connections can be made to the
jtag connectors on the chip. Software is then run on your computer to
update the chip.
Q: Are the cables included?
A: Only the mini-USB cable is included. Most updateable mod-chips include a flat cable.
Q: What operating systems does the software work on?
A:
The software works on most popular operating systems including a
vareity of Linux distributions and MacOS X (10.4 and higher). It also
works reasonably well on Windows XP with a third-party USB driver.
