Silicon Sculptor
Actel programmers made by BPM.
As these cost less than the “real” BPM programmers, presumably can't be used with normal BPM software and/or work with other adapters
Silicon Sculptor 1
Has 2 headers (left/right) that adaptors plug into
Interface: parallel port
There is version with 1 connector and a version with 6 connectors
1X markings
Silicon Sculptor FAIL ACTIVE PASS START ACTEL DEVICE PROGRAMMER BP MICROSYSTEMS
Silicon Sculptor 2
Briefly looking couldn't find a picture without an adaptor attached…not sure if it has two or three adaptor connectors
Markings:
Silicon Sculptor II Actel FAIL ACTIVE PASS ACTEL DEVICE PROGRAMMER BP MICROSYSTEMS
Silicon Sculptor 3
Product page: http://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/design-resources/programming/silicon-sculptor-3
I love how they switched from roman numerals to Arabic numbers. Maybe they'll call the next one Silicon Sculptor D…
Has 3 headers (left/right/top) that adaptors plug into
Interface: USB
