9. Open the programming software and load the programming file. The programming
software, FlashPro3 and Silicon Sculptor II, supports the device serialization feature. If, for
some reason, the device fails to program a part during serialization, the software allows you
Conclusion
The IGLOO, Fusion, and ProASIC3 families are the only FPGAs that offer on-chip FlashROM support.
This document presents information on the FlashROM architecture, possible applications,
programming, access through the JTAG and UJTAG interface, and integration into your design. In
addition, the Libero IDE tool set enables easy creation and modification of the FlashROM content.
The nonvolatile FlashROM block in the FPGA can be customized, enabling multiple applications.
Additionally, the security offered by the low-power flash devices keeps both the contents of
FlashROM and the FPGA design safe from system over-builders, system cloners, and IP thieves.

Part Number and Revision Date
This document contains content extracted from the Device Architecture section of the datasheet,
combined with content previously published as an application note describing features and
functions of the device. To improve usability for customers, the device architecture information has
now been combined with usage information, to reduce duplication and possible inconsistencies in
published information. No technical changes were made to the datasheet content unless explicitly
listed. Changes to the application note content were made only to be consistent with existing
datasheet information.
