Lattice's ispLeverCORE™ IP modules are large, modular design blocks that can be reused and easily placed within your programmable logic design.
This "quick start" tutorial is designed to help you evaluate and purchase the IP module package you have chosen as quickly as possible. Admittedly, it is brief and intended for users that are familiar with all the required tools and processes. Other versions and formats are available, as described below:
A printable PDF version of this tutorial is available from the Lattice website.
Lattice ispLeverCORE IP modules are available for ispXPLD, ispXPGA, ORCA4 FPGA, ORCA FPSC, LatticeEC/ECP, and LatticeXP technologies. This tutorial is written to support all device technologies, with differences noted where important.
This tutorial contains links to additional information in the evaluation core's readme.htm file necessary to complete the tasks. For these links to work properly, the tutorial must be installed in the IP download folder, for example <reeds_enco_o4_1_004>\tutorial.
To accommodate all ispLeverCORE IP module download packages, the directory paths are described as <variables>. For example, the actual directory path for the Reed-Solomon Encoder for an ORCA4 device is:
reeds_enco_o4_1_004\orca4\ver1\source
However, the path name in the tutorial would be represented as:
<download_name>\<device>\<version>\source
