Release Notes for

Lattice Diamond 3.10 SP1

Welcome to Lattice Diamond

, the complete design environment for Lattice

Semiconductor FPGAs. Lattice Diamond design software offers leading- edge

design and implementation tools optimized for cost-sensitive, low-power

Lattice FPGA architectures.

Diamond is available for both the Windows and Linux operating systems. For

details, see “System Requirements” on page 7.

This version of Diamond

adds a variety of enhancements to make designing

for Lattice Semiconductor programmable devices easier than ever. The

design tools also include sup port for the latest Lattice Semiconductor devices.

Lattice Semiconductor offers a rich variety of information sources, including

the Help system, PDF manuals, tutorials, and online discussions. The e asiest

way to reach them all is through the online Help. The first topic in the Help

provides links to all the other sources of information.

You can also find extensive information about Diamond and its capabilities,
