Software Installation
If you are already using Actel's Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE), you have the
FlashPro software installed as part of Libero IDE. If you are using the FlashPro3 device
programmer for standalone programming or on a dedicated machine, download and install the latest
release of the FlashPro software from the Actel website. The installation will guide you through the
setup. Complete the software installation before connecting the FlashPro3 device programmer to
your PC.

Hardware Installation
After installing the software successfully, connect one end of the USB cable to the FlashPro3 device
programmer and the other end to your PC USB port. The Found Hardware Wizard will open twice.
Use the wizard to install the driver automatically (recommended). If the Found Hardware Wizard
cannot find the drivers automatically, then ensure you have properly installed the FlashPro software
prior to installing the hardware. If the drivers still cannot be installed automatically, then install
them from a list or specific location (advanced).
If FlashPro was installed as part of the Libero IDE default installation, the drivers are located at
C:/Libero/Designer/Drivers/Manual
. For a standalone FlashPro default installation, the drivers are
located at
C:/Actel/FlashPro/Drivers/Manual
. Actel recommends the automatic driver installation.
