2.9.6. Configuration Device Tab Settings

The Configuration Device tab allows you to specify the properties of an existing or new flash memory device that you want to program. Click Add Device to select a programming template for a predefined flash memory, or to click <<new device>> and then define a new flash memory device.

The following settings are available:

Table 33.  Configuration Device Tab Settings
Option Description
Device name Specify a unique name for the flash not already listed in the Name column. The Name must not contain any empty string (space) or special characters (except "_").
Device ID Specify the 3-byte ID that the Programmer Auto-Detect operation uses to detect the flash programming device, such as 0x20 0xBB 0x21.
Device I/O voltage Specify 1.8V or 3.0/3.3V to match your memory device specification.
Device density Select the total density that corresponds with your flash memory device size.
Total device die Specify the total number of die for a stacked device (where applicable).
Single I/O mode dummy clock Specify the Fast Read dummy clock cycle for flash device in single I/O protocol. The programming file generation uses this setting to determine if the configuration requires bit shifting to compensate for the actual dummy clock cycle during Active Serial configuration.
Quad I/O mode dummy clock Specify the Fast Read dummy clock cycle for flash device in Quad I/O protocol. The programming file generation uses this setting to determine if the configuration requires bit shifting to compensate for the actual dummy clock cycle during Active Serial configuration.
Custom database directory Specifies the location of the .xml file that preserves a flash memory device definition.
Note: When you specify a non-default folder for the Custom database directory location, place the .sof and .jic files in the same folder as the .xml file to avoid missing a defined flash database or corruption of the .jic file.
