Hi m,

I have the similar experience with programming via JAM STAPL. Can you increase TCK frequency? This should help a little bit. But the main problem is in a division of a STAPL file code into small parts. For the STAPL player is possible to execute only small portion of a STAPL code typical a single JTAG transition or one data/instruction shift. Yes, there is a chance to speed up the programming significantly with using of a POF file with any 3rd party programmer or USB blaster. Because with help of an appropriate programming algorithm it is possible to produce the optimal algorithm for faster programming.

Best regards,

Martin
