Failure codes are:

 Three short flashes-- cannot self-calibrate

 Two short flashes -- ROM checksum error

4. Does the Silicon Sculptor programmer have any memory? Does it retain

any programming data after the programming?

Ans. Yes. Memory is used to broadcast the programming information in concurrent mode. As soon as the

programmer is powered down, no design content remains in the memory components.

Refer to the non-volatility certificate available at:

www.actel.com/documents/Memory_SiliconScultor_CL.pdf for more information.

5. Where can I find a list of adapter module part numbers for Silicon

Sculptor?

Ans. The adapter modules are device, package, and programmer specific. The list of modules for Silicon

Sculptor is available at: www.actel.com/products/hardware/program_debug/ss/modules.aspx.

You can also get the module information from the SculptW software: Device > Device Info and Device >
