Using the .ips

You can specify the clamp states of the pins with an .ips when the device is in ISP clamp operation without configuring the settings in the Assignment Editor and recompiling the design. The .ips defines the states for all the pins of the device in ISP clamp operation.

Create a new .ips and define the states of the pins or use an existing .ips. You can use the file you create to program the device with any design that targets the same device and package. Use an .ips together with a .pof that contains the programming data to program the device.
