hi
Altera is the one that likes to claim many things, one of those was that Altera was the first PLD vendor supporing IEEE 1532
That was new Loong time ago already, as of today, as of Altera web info:
IEEE1532 enabled devices are:
*MAX7k *EPC8thats about it.
in MAX2 datasheet there is mere notice that the ISC instruction codes for MAX2 ieee1532 programming will be published on altera website (as part of downloadable BSDL files)
checked today, the BSDL files are available but they do not support IEEE1532
so Altera has been simple BS the customers - or maybe there is a secret place for MAX2 IEEE1532 information ???
