Push-button implementation of this top-level design with either Lattice Synthesis Engine (LSE) or Synopsys Synplify Pro 
RTL synthesis is supported via the pre-built Diamond project file 

<instance_name>_top.ldf

 located in 

\<project_dir>\dsi2fpdlink_eval\<instance_name>\impl\lifmd\lse

 or 

\<project_dir>\dsi2fpdlink_eval\<instance_name>\impl\lifmd\synplify

 directories.

Hardware Evaluation 

The MIPI DSI to OpenLDI/FPD-Link/LVDS Interface Bridge IP supports Lattice’s IP hardware evaluation capability, which 
makes it possible to create versions of the IP that operate in hardware for a limited period of time (approximately four 
hours) without requiring the request of an IP license. It may also be used to evaluate the IP in hardware in user-defined 
designs. 

4.10.1.

 

Enabling Hardware Evaluation in Diamond
