Lattice Diamond Design Software is a complete suite of FPGA design tools with an easy-to-use interface, efficient design flow, superior design exploration and more. Today’s update makes ECP5™ FPGAs available to all users with standard licenses. The Lattice Diamond Free license enables the non-SERDES ECP5U devices, and the Lattice Diamond Subscription license enables the SERDES ECP5UM devices. Additionally, a data update for the ECP5 family provides users access to higher performance.

Lattice Synthesis Engine (LSE), included in the Lattice Diamond suite of tools, now supports ECP5, LatticeECP3™, LatticeECP2™, LatticeECP2M™, LatticeXP2™, MachXO3L™, MachXO2™, and MachXO™ FPGA families. Customers now have a choice of synthesis tools to get the best possible performance and power on a wider range of devices.

iCEcube2 2015.04

iCEcube2 design software gives customers easy-to-use design tools to hit their cost, power, and time-to-market targets. iCEcube2 2015.04 now makes iCE40 Ultra™ and iCE40 UltraLite™ devices available with a standard license, making it easier for manufacturers of mobile consumer and industrial handheld devices to quickly implement key product differentiators.

ispLEVER Classic 2.0

The update to ispLEVER Classic software enables a choice of synthesis tool when targeting Lattice ispMach® 4000 CPLD family. Lattice Synthesis Engine (LSE) is now included with the Classic suite of tools along with Synopsys® SynplifyPro® synthesis. Users can easily switch between these tools when implementing their design to get the best possible performance and power for their application.
