    Hi,

    do you want to transfer an EPM7032 design to a EPM7064 ? In this case you have to ru-run your project with the new device choosen.

    Kind regards

    Hi,

    as far as I know there is No way to convert the hex-file to a different CPLD device.

    Kind regards

    Not an answer but another question...

    How can I get an erased .pof file for an EPM7032SLC44 device?

    I bought a bunch of surplus 7032SLC devices that have had their JTAG pins programmed as I/O so they can't be programmed via JTAG

    Thanks in advance.

    You should erase these devices with help of a device programmer that is able to erase a device with parallel algorithm instead of JTAG algorithm. After such an action JTAG engine will be operative again.

    Best regards,

    Thanks, that's the tough part. The company that has the programming hardware wants a .pof file that they can use to program the devices. Erasing doesn't seem to be an option?

    I'm confused.

    You do not need a pof file for erase action, because a pof file contains configuration bits necessary for programming only. I am absolutely sure about this. You should explain to the company with a device programmer you need just device erasing.
