Please note that many of these file formats are rarely used for programming these days and more or becoming obsolete, so specifications for every file format supported is not possible.

FORMATBIN For Actel, previously, the accepted file format was known as DIO format. Customers who are programming devices that have been in production prior to 1999 will likely have data compiled in DIO format. BP Microsystems software supports both formats(afm.dio), and loads the DIO file as FORMATBIN.
