Configuration

Use the PADS I/O Designer Settings dialog, FPGA Library Updates page, to configure FPGA Updater.

FPGA Library Updates settings:

• Updates Mode - defines actions to take in automatic mode when PADS I/O Designer is starting.

• Automatically download and install updates

• Download updates for manual installation later

• Notify that updates are available, but do not download or install

• Disable automatic updates

• Servers - Defines the list of servers with updates. FPGA Updater tries to use servers in the specified order. When a server fails, FPGA Updater tries to connect to the next server in the list. The default first server in the list is the SupportNet server. You can add your own local server to the list.

• SupportNet login - FPGA Updater needs your login and password to download updates from SupportNet. You can check to see if new updates are available without entering a login and password.

• Proxy server - If FPGA Updater does not have direct access to the SupportNet server because your network has a gateway server (proxy server), put the proxy server IP address in the Url field. The proxy server must be configured for updates related traffic. Enter the opened port on which proxy server is listening in the Port field. You must also enter a login and password in the appropriate fields, if access to the proxy server is restricted.

• Updates Directory - The directory to which updates download. In the default configuration, you can use the $TEMP variable to point to a temporary directory.

• Backup Directory - The directory to which FPGA Updater backs up libraries before updating them.
