To provide customers with general definition of file formats that BPMicrosystems currently support

Below, you will find a few links for reference.

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.

Also note that some of the supported file formats date back to 1985 under BPDos support so even paper specifications are no longer available.

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.
