Evaluation Board User’s Guide Introduction This user’s guide describes the LatticeECP2M PCI Express x4 Evaluation Board featuring the LatticeECP2M FPGA device. The evaluation board has been designed to support the LatticeECP2M35 device and the LatticeECP2M50 device. Different versions of the evaluation board are available that contain either the LatticeECP2M35 device or the LatticeECP2M50 device.
Applying Power to the Board The LatticeECP2M PCI Express x4 Evaluation Board is ready to power on. The board can be supplied with power from an AC wall-type transformer power supply shipped with the board. Or it can be supplied from a bench top sup- ply via terminal screw connections.
LatticeECP2M PCI Express x4 Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide All input power sources and on-board power supplies are fused with surface mounted fuses and have green LEDs to indicate power GOOD status of the intermediate supplies Table 1. Board Power Supply Fuses (see Appendix A, Figure 6) 1.2V Core Fuse...

Double-click the device to open the device information dialog. In the device information dialog, click the Browse button located under Data File .
LatticeECP2M PCI Express x4 Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide Configuration Status Indicators (see Appendix A, Figure 8) These LEDs indicate the status of configuration to the FPGA. • D8 (RED) illuminated, this indicates that the programming was aborted or reinitialized driving the INITN output low.

PAC-Designer software (available from the Lattice web site at www.latticesemi.com/pacdesigner) is used to program the ispClock features. ispClock supports reference clocks in the range of 10 to 320 MHz. The duty cycle of the clock source need not be 50%;...

LatticeECP2M PCI Express x4 Lattice Semiconductor Evaluation Board User’s Guide Note: LEDs will illuminate if connected to an unprogrammed FPGA pin. It is recommended that a pull-down be pro- grammed on FPGA output pins. 17-Segment LED Display (see Appendix A, Figure 14) General-purpose FPGA pins are connected to a 17-segment display according to the following table.
