.SH NAME
flexloader \- GPL utility to configure SRAM base ALTERA devices via the ALTERA ByteBlaster
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B flexloader
.I [options] [parport_dev] [rbf_filename]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B flexloader
is a small utility to configure SRAM base ALTERA devices.
It downloads a code to the device SRAM using the ALTERA ByteBlaster
or a clone. 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.
