HuMANDATA original configuration tool "BBC[EDA-013]" provides you
- FPGA Configuration
- Configuration Memory Access (Write/Read/Erase)
without a special download cable.
BBC[EDA-013] requires just only .rbf file for both operations. You do not need to prepare an mcs file for configuration device. Software project files and source codes are offered to customize. (C++ Builder 11)
BBC[EDA-013] is tested under these OS below, and is not supported for Mac and Linux.
- Windows 11
- Windows 10
- Windows 8.1
- Windows 8
- Windows 7

- Find Ports : You can see ports which are detected on PC.
Use with command line arguments
You can set the file path and execute configuration.
| Command (Ignorecase) |
Followed Argument | Function | Note |
| -F | file path | Set the file path fields. | Both relative and absolute path are OK. Same directory of exe will be used when you set just only file name. |
| -C | none | Configure the FPGA. | -F is necessary |
| -A | none | Configure the FPGA. The done pin will not be checked after configuration. |
-F is necessary |
| -R | none | Reset the FPGA reset. | |
| -P | none | Program the configuration device. | -F is necessary |
| -E | none | Erase the configuration device. | |
| -N | none | Check the done pin condition. | |
| -D | Port Description | Set an USB port description | Optional |
| -G | Positive integer | Set time to close. | The zero will keep the tool alive. Maximum value is 10. |
| Exit Code | Result |
| 0 | Finished successfully |
| 1 | The done pin is high (-N command) |
| 2 | The done pin is low (-N command) |
| -1 | Finished with some error |
| -2 | File path is not set |
