Powering the Evaluation Board
Running the pre-loaded demonstration does not require connecting the provided USB cable to a
PC. The USB cable is required to modify the pre-loaded demo, interface to advanced demos, or
load pre-configured designs. Do not plug the USB cable into the PC until after loading Lattice’s
USB drivers (included with ispVM). The default operating system drivers are not compatible with
Lattice programming tools.
