The MachXO Mini Development Kit is an easy to use, low-cost platform to accelerate the evaluation of MachXO PLDs. The kit features the MachXO LCMXO2280 device, 2 Mbit SPI Flash and 1 Mbit SRAM memory, a temperature sensor,an expansion header for I2C and SPI interfaces, and several LEDs and user switches.
Using the preloaded minisystem-on-chip (Mini SoC) design provided with the development kit, you can now test within minutes I2C, SPI, UART and SRAM interfaces in addition to the 8-bit LatticeMico8 microcontroller. You can then build your own designs using the free downloadable reference design source code, implementing these features in less than an hour. The board also features USB channels for JTAG programming and debugging from a host PC. A pin header provides access to a variety of PIO banks of the MachXO PLD and the on-board I2C bus. The board can be controlled with menu driven interface via terminal programs running on a host PC.
Take the first step by watching this 5 minute video and see how easy it is to test popular interfaces within minutes and create new designs in less than an hour!

Demo Applications *** Special Note: The following demo applications are native to the ispLEVER software. While you can continue to use ispLEVER if you have it installed, ispLEVER Starter is no longer available for download. Lattice Diamond-Free has replaced ispLEVER Starter, and should be used for all new design work. We are currently working to update these demos to work native to the Lattice Diamond environment, and will post new versions of the demos as they are available. Until these new demos are available, you might try using the "ispLEVER project import" capability of Lattice Diamond. Depending on your needs, this may be a satisfactory interim solution.
This demo includes the RTL source and firmware for the pre-programmed demo provided with the MachXO Mini Evaluation Board. It uses the 8-bit Microcontroller - LatticeMico8 microcontroller, I2C, SPI, and SRAM controller Reference Designs for acomplete system to communicate with the board subsystems and a host PCconnected with a USB cable.
This demo demonstrates the low-power sleep mode operation of the MachXO PLD.
This demo makes use of both the Lattice TransFR technology for seamless in-system updates. |
