Install SVF2Jam Utility
The SVF2Jam utility for the Jam Standard Test and Programming Language (STAPL), JEDEC standard JESD-71, converts existing Serial Vector Format (.svf) files to Jam version 2.1 Files. This utility offers vendor independence to any designer with a Jam Player. On the same board, designers can mix and match PLDs that offer JTAG- based in-system programmability (ISP) and SVF file support. This conversion demonstrates the truly vendor-independent nature of the Jam language.
To use the SVF2Jam utility, perform the following steps:
1. Copy the svf2jam.exe file from the <CD-ROM drive>:\jam directory to a directory on your hard disk.
2. From a DOS or command prompt, change to the directory in which you copied the SVF2Jam utility and type the following commands:
SVF2JAM <option> <inputfile.svf> <outputfile.jam>
For information on the SVF2Jam commands, type SVF2JAM at the DOS or command prompt.
