LatticeMico System Development Tools

Jumpstart your design entry at a whole new level


Newsletter Subscription

Quickly build system connectivity and control – Use a rich library of pre-built components around your custom logic.

Throughput? Cost? You Choose – Choose the type of block interconnect that optimizes for cost or throughput and let the tool build it for you. You even have a choice of 32 or 8 bit processors.

Complete solution – Includes software drivers and Eclipse-based software development environment to quickly get your entire design up and running.

Note: Lattice Diamond 3.13 is the last version that supports the LatticeMico System. Please visit our Software Archive to download the software.

Overview

LatticeMico System contains two integrated tools. One generates the HDL for a hardware system, and the other generates software that runs on it. You can add your own custom HDL to this hardware system. Because the tools are integrated, the software will be compatible with the hardware system – freeing you from many housekeeping tasks.

The hardware system is built from a rich library of components that are provided as open-source. This library includes both a 32-bit and an 8-bit microcontroller. Lattice's unique Open Source approach gives you complete design visibility, flexibility, and control.

If you include a processor in your system, you have a complete industry standard software development environment for code development and debug. The two tools are synchronized so, as an example, if you add another UART to your system, it is automatically made visible within the software application environment.

Quickly Add Control and Connectivity to Your Custom Logic

  • Use a rich library of components to quickly add a control plane to your custom logic. At system start, the control plane brings up the custom logic, monitors its operation, and communicates with the outside world.

Application Processor Inspired by You

  • Can't find the processor you need in the catalog? Need an unusual mix of UARTs and GPIOs? Need an application specific peripheral? Think you'll have to compromise? Nope.

Pile on the Peripherals

  • Expand the mix of peripherals on your existing processor by building a peripheral subsystem and connecting them on the board

Cost or Throughput? You Decide.

  • Components can be connected using a shared or point-to-point bus, enabling different cost and throughput architectures
  • Since the connectivity and arbitration is automatically built for you, it's easy to explore different architectures and try them out in your system

Leave the Housekeeping to Us

  • The tools synchronize your hardware and software development
  • Component drivers and peripheral memory map are all handled automatically
  • Integrated with industry-standard Eclipse-based software development flow

That’s Right. You Keep Control of Your Code

  • With open source, you know exactly what's going on
  • Lattice's innovative open source license gives you all the advantages of open source... without the risk of sharing your design.
