It dialogs with it through the parallel interface, using +parport. Note that you should have access rights to the parallel port. + +It should support APEX20K, FLEX10K, FLEX6000 and ACEX1K families, +though I only tested it on a FLEX10K10 device. + +It currently only support files in raw binary format (.rbf), but others +format such as HEX or TTF may be implemented later. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B "\-d, \-\-debug" +Print debug messages. +.TP +.B "\-q, \-\-quiet" +Quiet mode, don't print any message, useful when called from scripts. +.TP +.B "\-v" +Returns the program version. +.TP +.B "\-h, \-\-help" +Print help screen + +.SH AUTHOR +Aurelien Jarno <aurelien@aurel32.net>. + +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright (C) 2005 Aurelien Jarno + +This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify +it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by +the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or +(at your option) any later version. + +This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, +but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of +MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
