Software Installation

If you are already using Libero®System-on-Chip (SoC) software, you have the FlashPro software

installed as part of this software. If you are using the FlashPro Lite device programmer for

standalone programming or on a dedicated machine, download and install the latest release of the

FlashPro software from the Microsemi SoC Products Group website. The installation will guide you

through the setup. Complete the software installation before connecting the FlashPro Lite device

programmer to your PC. The installation will ask you “Will you be using FlashPro Lite or FlashPro

programmer via parallel port?”, answer “Yes”.

Software releases: www.microsemi.com/soc/download/program_debug/flashpro.

Hardware Installation

1. Connect the programmer to a parallel printer port on your PC. Connect one end of the IEEE 1284

cable to the programmer’s connector. Plug the other end of the cable into your parallel printer

port and tighten the screws. You should not have any licensing dongles connected between the

parallel port and cable. Your port settings must be EPP or bidirectional. Microsemi also supports

ECP mode with FlashPro v2.1 software and newer.

2. Verify that you are connected to the correct parallel port on your computer. Microsemi

recommends that you dedicate a port to the programmer. Connecting to a serial port or a third-

party card can damage the programmer. This type of damage is not covered by the warranty.

3. Connect the FlashPro Lite ribbon cable to the programming header and turn the target board on.

Common Issues

If you see two blinking LEDs on the programmer after you have connected the programmer to the

parallel port, make sure the parallel port cable is connected firmly to the PC parallel port. For more

information, refer to the FlashPro Software and Hardware Installation Guide and the “Known

Issues and Workarounds” section of the FlashPro software release notes:
