Power Loss During Programming

Due to an unreliable connection power to an EPM570 was lost while a configuration was being programmed into it using a USB-Blaster. Can this cause damage to an EPM570?

Hi,

the EPM750 is a MAXII device being programmed via JTAG. The JTAG engine is hardcoded, thus just reprogram... As long as the programming file is not completely transferred, the MAXII does not change to "user mode", thus no damage can occur...
