MaxLoader User’s Guide

The default selection on File Load menu is in Binary Format. To select any of

the HEX files mentioned above, choose “All HEX File” by pressing  button.

When you have selected the desired file, press the OPEN button to load the file

into the data buffer. If you are programming a PLD, you will want to load a

JEDEC file. The procedure is identical to loading a data file, except that the

files in the current directory will have the JED extension. If your selected

device is an Altera MAX family, the file you should load is a POF extension.

The MaxLoader uses a RAM buffer to hold data. After loading a file into the

buffer, you can edit the buffer data. If you load a JEDEC file, you may use (the

vector pattern edit) command to view or edit the fuse map and (test/vectors) for

any test vectors that may have been in the JEDEC file.

File / Reload

Data can be reloaded into the memory from the file directories that contains

previously loaded files. Reload remembers your file location and type (Binary

or All Hex) that has been loaded into the buffer.

File / Save

Save the current data in your memory buffer to disk storage by using one of the

current supported file formats.

Before saving a file, check the buffer and the file address ranges. The contents

of the buffer through the specified range will be written into the new file,
