Hardware Evaluation
The OpenLDI/FPD-LINK/LVDS Receiver Interface IP supports Lattice’s IP hardware evaluation capability, so you can
create versions of the IP that operate in hardware for a limited period of time without requiring the request of an IP
license. It may also be used to evaluate the IP in hardware in user-defined designs.
5.10.1.
Enabling Hardware Evaluation in Diamond
Choose Project > Active Strategy > Translate Design Settings. The hardware evaluation capability may be enabled or
disabled in the Strategy dialog box. It is enabled by default.
5.11.
Updating/Regenerating the IP
The Clarity Designer user interface allows you to update the local IPs from the Lattice IP server. The updated IP can be
used to regenerate the IP in the design. To change the parameters of the IP used in the design, the IP must also be
regenerated.
