New ContributorI am a repair technician at CTDI, We need to replace CPLDs and FPGAs on occasion. We are not interested in the design aspect. IS there a simple software solution we can use without all the unnecessary bells and whistles?
Go here:

Click "Select by Software" and choose "Programming Software."
What you mention is kind of a strange setup because if the board loses power, and the device has no flash (any FPGA besides MAX 10, which has its own onboard configuration flash memory), you'd have to go in and manually reprogram the device over JTAG every time.
In any case, let me know if you're now able to download the programming software.

Super ContributorA software solution to do what? And when you say you need to replace devices, do you mean de-solder from boards and replace? Why do you need to do this?
Even if you replace a device on a board with the same device, if the programming configuration is stored in non-volatile flash, as it usually is, you don't need to do anything.
