After you have synthesized a logic circuit with ispLever, you get a *.jed file. This is a configuration file that you can put into Fpga. To do this you need two things:

  • Programming Cable.
  • ispVM System software.

Programming Cable

First you have to buy a Lattice jtag programmer cable. There are a lot of compatible Lattice programming cable. A example a simple low cost programming cable.

ispVM System

This software is default installed together to software ispLEVER. You Can find it in (installation directory Lattice)/Accessories/ispVM System

  • We can connect the JTAG connector to the FPG-EYE board.
Jtag connector
  • Now power your FPG-EYE, then we can open ispVM software.
Open ispVM software
  • After we have pushed on Scan button, the software should find the Fpga model like in the follow image.
Scan on ispVM software
  • Then we click on FileName/IR-Lenght and then we click on Browes and select jed file.
Select jed file
  • Now we click on OK and we return on ispVM main page then we click on GO and program the FPGA on FPG-EYE board.
