Using the Board
The Board contains one MachXO3D-9400C (U4) and two ECP5-85F (U11, U21) FGPA
devices.
The board comes pre-loaded with the demonstration program described below. The
MachXO3D program image is contained in its on-board ash. The ECP5 images are
contained in their respective external SPI Flash devices (U17, U18, U27, U28).

Powering the Board & Observing the Demo Program
Connect the supplied power adapter to the 12 V DC power input (J11) on the board. A
few LEDs should light, indicating the board is powered.
The LEDs next to the MachXO3D-9400C device (D3-D12) should move through a series
of patterns before settling on 0110 0110 within a few seconds. This indicates that all three
FPGAs are congured correctly. There will also be a blinking status LED next to each
ECP5-85F (D53, D39) indicating the demo program is running.
Installing the software
The Board is pre-programmed with a basic demonstration.
To develop your own solutions, download and use the Lattice Diamond software (version
3.11, SP1 or SP3 or later), downloadable from www.latticesemi.com/software.
If you only need to re-program to board, you can use the Diamond Programmer stand-
alone software (version 3.11.2 or later). You can download this at www.latticesemi.com/
programmer.
