Important Version Information:
Review the Release Notes for FastChip v2.6 for more details.
( will be updated frequently; please check back for revisions.)
Full Program Installation Instructions:
Zylogic suggests that all older versions of FastChip be un-installed
before installing this latest FastChip release, using the provided
un-installation utility. Do not manually remove any files and folders.
The FastChip license file (FCLicense.trj) for your exsiting version
will remain in the installation folder. Though the FastChip uninstaller
will not remove project files and folders, including the FastChip
license file, it is recommended that a backup be made for those
files for added safety.
Install FastChip 2.6 to the same path and folder where the old
version resided so the existing license file and all user project
files will continue to be effective for FastChip 2.6.
If for whatever reason FastChip 2.6 must be installed to a different
folder than the previous FastChip installation, the license file
then must be manually copied to the new FastChip 2.6 installation
folder from the previous FastChip installation folder.
For a list of soft module fixes, please see the "Known Issues,
Soft Modules" section of the Release Notes.
Note to existing FastChip users:
If you previously received a license for FastChip 2.x, you do not
need to apply for a new license for FastChip 2.6. Your existing
license works with FastChip 2.6.
Note to customers in China/Japan/Korea:
Please read the additional statement about platform issues that
have been mostly observed on Chinese platforms and, sporadically
also on Japanese and Korean platforms. A
Chinese version of the statement is here (.pdf format).

It is mandatory to download and install E5 SDK 2.6. For A7 customers,
