A how-to getting an LED flashing using VHDL from Harris' Electronics: The cheap price however comes with a few niggles, namely getting it up and running in the first place with the limited documentation. Gnarly Grey do a great job of explaining programming a starting program but don’t say much...Tags: Lattice, LED, VHDL

Elia writes: One day when playing with the CPLD board I accidentally shorted out two pins on the on-board FT2232 and – unfortunately – the magic smoke escaped! It was very clear that the FT2232 failed because it got very warm when plugging in the USB cable. Luckily the dev...Tags: Lattice, MachXO2280C, UrJTAG

Colfaxmingo built a free Lattice CPLD development board PCB. CPLDs are programmable logic gate arrays which allow you to build custom logic devices by programing them. If you build a free PCB we’ll send you another one! Blog about it, post a picture on Flicker, whatever – we’ll send you...Tags: CPLD, Free PCB build, Lattice

Lattice made an over-the-top infomercial for the MachXO2 Programmable Logic Device. PLDs are in the neighborhood of CPLDs and FPGAs. Lattice CPLDs are available at Mouser, but we've never tried them. Any experience? This gem seems to have originated with Jeri Ellsworth, but it's everywhere today.Tags: Lattice, MachXO2 PLD
