Using iMPACT to Generate Files
IMPACT supports the generation of secondary configuration files based on bitstreams or JEDEC files in five formats: System ACE CF and MPM, PROM Files (TEK, EXO, and MCS), HEX files, SVF and STAPL files. System ACE and PROM files are output files which can be used to program one or more devices. SVF and STAPL files contain both programming instructions and configuration data. They are used by ATE machines and embedded controllers to perform Boundary Scan operations.
