Introduction to FlashPro Express
About FlashPro Express
FlashPro Express is Microsemi’s programming software tool designed from the ground up to address secured
programming assurance in production programming house environments. FlashPro Express software supports
PolarFire
TM
, PolarFire SoC
TM
, SmartFusion
®
2, IGLOO
®
2, and RTG4
TM
in the Windows and Linux OS
environments, using the FlashPro Programmer hardware.
You can install FlashPro Express two ways:
• Integrated with Libero - FlashPro Express is installed automatically when Libero is installed. FlashPro
Express is used by Libero to perform the programming tasks for PolarFire, PolarFire SoC, SmartFusion2,
IGLOO2, and RTG4, as part of the design flow.
• Stand-Alone - FlashPro Express is also available as a standalone installation. This mode is primarily used
for production programming or lab programming on machines in which a full version of Libero is not
required.
See the Microsemi website for more information on FlashPro Express.
About FlashPro Programmer
The FlashPro series of hardware programmers saves you board space because a single JTAG chain can be used
for all JTAG devices. In-system programming using the JTAG port adds the flexibility of field upgrades or post-
assembly production-line characterization. Production costs are significantly reduced as a result of elimination of
expensive sockets on the board.
See programmer sections and the Microsemi website for details on FlashPro3/X, FlashPro4, FlashPro5 and
FlashPro6.
Note: FlashPro 5 and FlashPro 6 support programming though the device SPI Slave port as well.
Secure Job Programming
Job programming is the concept of using a single file to program a Microsemi device or chain of Microsemi
devices using encrypted bitstreams.
The single job file contains all of the information necessary to setup FlashPro Express as well as the encrypted
bitstream images for the devices in the job. Once a job file is created it can be handed off securely to production
programming houses or contract engineering facilities to load the Microsemi images during manufacturing. Job
projects can be exported from Libero and imported into stand-alone FlashPro Express providing a clean
delineation between design flow and production programming.
Migrating FlashPro Projects to FlashPro Express
Existing FlashPro projects (*.pro) files are now called Job Project files in FlashPro Express. These Job Projects
can be opened with FlashPro Express to take advantage of Linux programming support and the simplified tool
targeted for operators in a production floor environment.
FlashPro projects that were created in single mode will not be supported with this tool. Microsemi recommends
that you convert these projects to chain mode projects. To convert the project to a chain project, do the following
steps:
1.
Open the FlashPro project (*.pro) in FlashPro.
2.
Locate the loaded STAPL file by one of two methods:
The log will print “STAPL file ‘<stapl_path>’ has been loaded successfully.” <stapl_path> is the location of
the STAPL file loaded.
