Jam STAPL Programming Support - Advin Systems, Inc.

Advin Systems, Inc. specializes in providing PLD designers with early support for newly released PLDs. Advin Systems, Inc. provides the PILOT-JVP universal programmer, which supports the JamTM Standard Programming and Test Language (STAPL) — an industry standard supported by leading programmable logic device (PLD) manufacturers, programming equipment makers, and test equipment suppliers. The PILOT-JVP programmer has the following features:
- Supports Jam Files (.jam) created by Altera's MAX+PLUS® II software
- Instant-Device-Support as soon as devices are available from the manufacturer
- Programming core software provided by Altera and other PLD manufacturers
- Windows 95 user interface
- True low-voltage support
- Free lifetime software updates via bulletin board service (BBS) and the world-wide web
- Industrial quality

Jam STAPL is a revolutionary way of providing instant programming support to PLD designers. The PILOT-JVP programmer includes software drivers for Windows 95, and a core Jam Player that interprets Jam STAPL programming files produced by PLD vendors.
Because Jam Files (.jam) embed all necessary programming algorithm instructions, the PILOT-JVP programmer can program PLDs exactly according to the PLD vendor's specification, without any chance of error.
Jam STAPL is standardized, therefore, the Jam Player that resides in the PILOT-JVP software is a stable piece of the programmer. The PLD vendor's tools (such as Altera MAX+PLUS II software) will incorporate all new programming algorithms into the Jam STAPL programming files automatically. Because new programming algorithms are not required for each new device, the PILOT-JVP programmer can provide instant support for new devices.
In addition to full support for Altera PLDs that use the IEEE 1149.1 JTAG interface, the PILOT-JVP programmer will support other vendors' PLDs that can be programmed with Jam Files.
The PILOT-JVP currently supports the Altera MAX® 9000 and MAX 7000S devices in plastic J-lead chip carrier (PLCC), quad flat pack (QFP), pin-grid array (PGA), and ball-grid array (BGA) packages. Advin Systems, Inc. will provide support for other packages as they become available.
