You can use Lattice's Module/IP Manager tool (included with Lattice's ispLEVER software) to specify the IP module parameter settings. This will generate a Lattice Parameter Configuration file (.lpc). You must send us this LPC file before we can send you your configured IP module. Please send it to the Lattice location listed in the confirmation e-mail. As soon as we get this file, we will e-mail you a confirmation of receipt and a scheduled ship date.
The Lattice IP parameterization tool, Module/IP Manager, is incorporated in the ispLEVER software. It provides a GUI for entering the required parameters to configure the core. After all required parameters have been entered, the following file are generated:
Parameter file (<IPname>.lpc)
This file contains the configuration parameters you entered via the Module/IP Manager GUI. Usually the Module/IP Manager is run from the ispLEVER Project Navigator. However, for generating your IP module configuration file, you will run the Module/IP Manager in standalone mode.
Note: This procedure uses the Reed-Solomon Encoder for a Verilog design implemented in a Lattice ORCA 4 device as an example. Your specific settings will be different.
To use the Module/IP Manager to generate an LPC file:
Go to the directory where your Module/IP Manager application is installed, for example:
<isplever_install_path>\ispcpld\bin
Double-click ispmg.exe.
In the Open Project dialog box, do the following:
Select To start a new design.
Set the directory path for the Lattice Parameter Configuration file (.lpc). This can be any location.
Select the netlist format.
Select your target device.
Click Continue to load your selections into the Module/IP Manager and open the GUI. In the GUI, do the following:
Expand tree for the device family you have selected and select the IP module that you want to configure and purchase.
Under Module Name, type a name for your IP module. This can be any name you choose. Special characters are allowed.
Click Customize to open the configuration screen for your chosen IP module. Set the desires options and then click Generate.
The Module/IP Manager generates the Lattice Parameter Configuration (LPC) file to the specified location.
To verify the parameter settings, click on the "Load Parameters" button and select your saved .lpc file. Your saved parameter will load into the Module/IP Manager tool for verification.
You must send us the LPC file (.lpc) to Lattice so that we can configure the IP core and send it to you. Please send your LPC file to the Lattice location listed in your purchase confirmation e-mail (or to your local Lattice Sales office). As soon as Lattice receives your LPC file, we will e-mail you a confirmation of receipt and the scheduled shipping date of your ispLeverCORE.
