2. Programming Cables
Lattice Programming Cable products are the hardware connection for in-system programming of all Lattice devices.
After you complete your logic design and create a programming file with the Lattice Diamond®/ispLEVER® Classic
development tools, you can use Diamond Programmer or ispVM™ System software to program devices on your board.
The ispVM System/Diamond Programmer software automatically generates the appropriate programming commands,
programming addresses and programming data based on information stored in the programming file and parameters
you set in Diamond Programmer/ispVM System. Programming signals are then generated from the USB or parallel port
of a PC and directed through the programming cable to the device. No additional components are required for
programming.
Diamond Programmer/ispVM System software is included with all Lattice design tool products and is available for
download from the Lattice web site at
www.latticesemi.com/software .
