ispLEVER-Starter Upgraded To Support LatticeECP2

Newest FPGAs included in downloadable ispLEVER®-Starter software.

The downloadable ispLEVER-Starter Version 6.0 has been upgraded to include the LatticeECP2™: ECP2-50 device. The ECP2-50 provides 48K LUTs, 96Kbits of distributed RAM, 387 Kbits of embedded block RAM, 72 18x18 multipliers, and up to 500 user I/Os. ispLEVER-Starter is easy to download, install, and license in a three-step process shown at the ispLEVER-Starter download page of the Lattice website. Software modules allow you to create a configuration that best fits your needs. A typical configuration to support the ECP2-50 includes both the Primary Module and FPGA Module and either the Precision® RTL Synthesis Module or Synplify® Synthesis Module.
