#111257 - Careful, now ... Responding to: ???'s previous message |
The EP9xx is part of the old "classic" CPLD series that Altera made back in the '80's. They're still supported by the free MaxPlus+2 software, though, and IF THE DEVICES YOU HAVE ARE WINDOWED CERAMIC PARTS, you can reuse them. If not, you're out of luck.
These devoces are NOT JTAG-programmable, but require a dedicated programmer, as what Altera once sold, or a multipurpose device such as the Data I/O Unisite or others in their product line. MaxPlus+ has a built-in simulator. It also supports JTAG programming of devices that include that feature. Note that it is possible to program ALTERA's 7000-series JTAG programmable devices into a state in which the JTAG pins no longer work as JTAG pins. Those devices can be reused, but have to be erased in a programmer that knows how to reprogram them. Good Luck! RE |

| Careful, now ... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| modelsim is fine for altera fpgas | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Maybe, but probably not for these parts | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| you use it seperatly | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| aye, there's the rub ... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| However with altera tools | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Have you tried that? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| yep just done it now with baseline | 01/01/70 00:00 | |

| Maxplus or Quartus | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Do they have free simulation? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
