Lattice Listens

Q: What is the best way for the Lattice FPGA user community to communicate with Lattice engineers?  

A: To better serve the Lattice user community and enhance communication between users and Lattice engineers, we are making some changes to our Forums area of the website. This will be a threefold strategy: open forums, Q&A and FAQs. Below is a quick summary of each one of these Forum areas.

• Open Forum: This is the newest section and it's a forum in the truest and most traditional sense of the word. The purpose of the Open Forum is freeform discussion between Lattice users. Please post here to share your experiences, questions, solutions and opinions. Lattice engineers will also be active in this community, so please let us know what's on your mind!
• Q&A Forums: This is a set of forums where users can post questions directly to the Lattice applications engineering team. This forum is less about discussion and more about specific questions.
• FAQs: This section is for fast answers. A question is promoted to an FAQ when we see the same question being repeated in the Q&A section, the Open Forum, or by direct contact with our tech support team (techsupport@latticesemi.com). If you'd like to comment on an FAQ, please let us know your thoughts in the Open Forum.
  

We hope that this approach will encourage open and dynamic communication between Lattice users and engineers. You can see the new Forum organization at www.latticesemi.com/support/forums.cfm. Please feel free to express your opinions on this new organization by posting in the Open Forum. We're eager to hear what you think!
