This user guide describes how to start using the ispMACH 4256V Breakout Board, an easy-to-use platform for evaluating and designing with the ispMACH 4256V CPLD. Along with the board and accessories, this kit includes a pre-loaded hardware test program. You may also reprogram the on-board ispMACH 4256V device to review your own custom designs.
• Optional: ispLEVER Classic 1.4 (ispMACH 4000V CPLD support) Demonstration Design Lattice provides a pre-programmed demo to illustrate basic operation of the ispMACH 4256V CPLD device. The design integrates an up-counter which uses an external 5 MHz SiTIME oscillator. The design alternates to CPLD outputs, illuminating LEDs D1, D3, D5 and D7 then LEDs D2, D4, D6 and D8.
4256V Breakout Board Evaluation Kit The preprogrammed demonstration design is an up counter which is used to drive an LED array. The demo uses the external 5 MHz SiTIME oscillator to run the counter. The 23-bit up counter advances each second. The output of the counter is used to drive the LED array.
4256V Breakout Board Evaluation Kit To load the FTDI chip USB hardware drivers via the stand-alone package: 1. Browse to www.latticesemi.com/breakoutboards and download the FTDI chip USB Hardware driver package. 2. Extract the FTDI chip USB Hardware driver package to your PC hard drive.

All clocks for the counter demonstration design originates from an external 5 MHz oscillator connected to Pin 128 of ispMACH 4256V chip. You may use an expansion header landing to drive a CPLD input with an alternate clock source. To drive Pin 128 from header J4, disconnect X5 from the circuit by removing R23.

USB: Universal Serial Bus Troubleshooting Use the tips in this section to diagnose problems with the ispMACH 4256V Breakout Board. LEDs Do Not Flash If power is applied but the board does not flash according to the preprogrammed counter demonstration then it is likely that the board has been reprogrammed with a new design.
