1.2.1. Generating Secondary Programming Files (Programming File Generator)

Follow these steps to generate secondary programming files for alternative device programming methods with the Programming File Generator.
  1. Generate the primary programming files for your design, as Generating Primary Device Programming Files describes.
  2. Click File > Programming File Generator.
  3. For Device family, select your target device. The options available in the Programming File Generator change dynamically, according to your device and configuration mode selection.
  4. For Configuration mode, select an Active Serial mode that your device supports. Configuration Modes (Programming File Generator) describes all modes.
  5. On the Output Files tab, enable the checkbox for generation of the file you want to generate. The Input Files tab is now available. Secondary Programming Files (Programming File Generator) describes all output files.
  6. Specify the Output directory and Name for the file you generate. Output Files Tab Settings (Programming File Generator) describes all options.
