FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW OF ELECTRONIC APPLICATION UTILITIES (EAU)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following utility programs are provided by Altera Applications to assist with EPLD development.  These utility programs may be obtained directly from Altera or any of Altera's Representatives and Distributors or from Altera's Electronic Bulletin service.  Utility programs operate with an IBM-PC XT, AT (or compatible) or an IBM PS/2 computer running MS-DOS 2.0 or later revisions.

EAU003  -  310 to 320 JEDEC FILE CONVERTOR: EP310 to EP320 Convertor will automatically convert EP310 JEDEC files to EP320 JEDEC files.

EAU005  -  JEDPACK: "JEDPACK" compacts the size of JEDEC files.  This allows more disk space to available on your hard disk without the EPLD programming information.  This utility is handy for archiving JEDEC files.

EAU007  -  JEDSUM: The JEDSUM utility calculates the EPROM data Check-Sum contained in the EPLD JEDEC file.  Check-Sums are sometimes used to document programming files for each EPLD.

EAU017  -  LEF2AHDL: This utility converts LEF files developed in the A+PLUS environment and converts them to a TDF file in the AHDL language.  This file may then be easily integrated into the MAX+PLUS II environment as a text file.

EAU018  -  PLD2EQN ver 2.0 (beta 3): This utility converts a jedec file from a variety of 20 and 24 pin PAL type devices to either a TDF file compatible with MAX+PLUS II or an ADF file compatible with A+PLUS.  Refer to the READ.ME file contained in EAU018 for a list of the devices supported.

EAU019  -  MAXABEL ver 2.0: This utility reads in a .TT2 file that has been developed by DATA I/Os ABEL v4.0 or later program.  This file is then translated into a TDF file compatible with MAX+PLUS II.

EAU020  -  PASM2TDF: This utility converts Palasm source files to Altera Text Design Files (TDF) files compatible with MAX+PLUS II.

EAU021  -  TTF2RBF: This utility converts FLEX 8000 TTF (ASCII-format) to RBF (Binary Format).  This conversion may be useful for passive configuration modes.

EAU022  -  PLA2PDS: This utility converts a .TT2 created with DATA I/Os ABEL 4.0 into a PDS file.  This PDS file then can be compiled by PLDshell PLUS.
