great !
however there is an issue with DirectC :
I couldn't find a distribution license.
That is : what if I design some stuff using
that is meant to flash an Actel ProASIC3,
and that reuses Actel's DirectC ?
Is it intended by Actel, or just as
a design guide, or something else
that is highly proprietary and can't be republished ?
My local rep has no answer to this,
though a bit of code reading shows that
it's just a JTAG wrapper, or something like that.
And a rather nice one, but what am I allowed to
do with that ?
