Introduction

The ispVM System is a comprehensive design down-load package that provides an efficient method of pro-gramming ISP devices using JEDEC files generated bydesign tools from Lattice and third-party vendors. Thiscomplete device programming tool allows the user toquickly and easily download designs to devices.

The ispVM System supports both serial and Turbo isp-DOWNLOAD programming in a PC environment. Thetool is built around a Windows-like GUI. The GUI isdesigned to allow users to automatically scan a systemboard, browse the built-in file manager and select therequired JEDEC files for programming.

This tool supports programming of all Lattice ISPdevices and non-Lattice devices that are compliant withthe IEEE 1149.1 standard through a vendor-suppliedSVF file. Version 11.1.1b and higher fully supports theIEEE 1532 programming standard as well.

Basics

A scan chain may include any IEEE 1149.1 compliant,programmable or non-programmable device. The samechain may also include programmable devices that areIEEE 1149.1 compliant but do not have boundary scanregisters. This decision is based on the test methodol-ogy employed by the user. All scan chains use a simplefour-wire TAP. Figure 1 demonstrates a simple scanchain.

Programming information is provided to the ispVM Sys-tem in the form of standard JEDEC files that are con-verted into the row and column fuse map. Theprogramming flow shown in Figure 2 is the sameregardless of the programming hardware used.

IEEE 1532 Compliant Programming Tool

ispVM System programming software version 11.1.1b, and later, generates ISC programming files for all LatticeISC-compatible and compliant products. Additionally, this version of the ispVM System software accepts ISC pro-gramming files from non-Lattice, ISC-compliant devices. By combining these various ISC programming files into asingle “programming data stream,” the ispVM System supports multi-vendor, in-system programming of entirechains of ISC-compliant devices, a capability offered by no other PLD vendor.

Two files are required for ISC-based programming:

1.

ISC BSDL File

- defines those extensions to the standard Boundary Scan Description Language (BSDL) File required to support the ISC programming flows and algorithms. The ISC BSDL File is device-specific (one file for each base part number).

2.

ISC Data File

- describes the data that will be programmed into an ISC-compliant device. The ISC Data File is design-specific (one ISC Data File for each unique customer logic design). ispVM System includes a JEDEC to ISC conversion feature, so you can create ISC data files from JEDEC.

Lattice ISC Device Support

Lattice device families fully compliant with the IEEE 1532 standard include the ispMACH™ 4000B (2.5V), ispMACH4000C (1.8V) and ispMACH 5000VG (3.3V) CPLD families. Lattice families compatible with the IEEE 1532 stan-dard include the popular ispLSI

®

5000VE (3.3V), ispMACH 4A3 (3.3V), ispMACH 4A5 (5V), ispLSI 2000VE (3.3V),ispLSI 2000VL (2.5V), and ispGDXV™ (3.3V) families.

ispVM System Software

The ispVM System is built around a Windows-like GUI. Any required JEDEC file may be selected using the built-infile manager. This software supports both serial and Turbo ispDOWNLOAD programming of Lattice devices. Anynon-Lattice device compliant with the IEEE 1149.1 standard may be bypassed once its instruction register length isdefined in the chain configuration file. Devices from other PLD vendors may be programmed through the vendor-supplied SVF file.

ispVM System GUI

The ispVM System window (Figure 3) consists of menus, a tool bar, edit bar, chain configuration window and statuswindow.

SVF Debugger

Lattice’s SVF File Debugger is a separate utility included with the ispVM System software, that is designed to helpthe user debug a Serial Vector Format (SVF) file. The SVF Debugger provides the facility, after initial programming,to edit, check syntax, debug and trace the process of the SVF file.

About the SVF File

The SVF file is the media for exchanging descriptions of high-level IEEE 1149.1 bus operations. The SVF file is anASCII file that consists of a set of statements for scan operations and movement between different stable states.

CC

of 1.8, 2.5, 3.3 and 5V.

Programming Software Support

Interface software, residing on any PC running Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows XP, con-trols the programming process. This interface software is integral to Lattice's ispVM System version 9.0.4d andlater. The Model 300 programmer is launched through the ispVM System software.

With the exception of programmer power, the Model 300 programmer is controlled entirely by the programmingsoftware. The user simply selects the device, programming adapter configuration, and the target device V
