ECP5-5G Versa
Development Kit
Installing the software
If you do not have Lattice Diamond design software (version 3.6 or later) installed on
your PC, visit www.latticesemi.com/software for instructions on how to download the
software. If you only need to program a bitstream file to the FPGA, you can install the
Diamond Programmer Stand-alone, v3.6 or later.
Powering the Board & Observing the Demo Program
First, connect the supplied power adapter to the 12VDC power input (J11) on the
board. A few LEDs should light, indicating the board is powered. The ECP5-5G will
begin configuration from the external SPI memory (provided SW4 is in default state of
010). Configuration will complete almost immediately, at which time the Status LEDs
and LED Display will be illuminated in a repeating pattern.
Programming the ECP5-5G Versa Board with Additional Demos
To update the ECP5-5G Versa Board with additional demos, connect the included
USB-mini cable to your PC with the Diamond software installed. The ECP5-5G FPGA
can be programmed to perform any number of functions.
