Download Lattice Diamond 3.x
Request a new license file
from Lattice using the MAC address of your eth0
NOTE You MUST have an eth0 otherwise you will see the message "The hostid
of this system does not match the hostid specified in the license file".
If you do not have an eth0 device (probably because of
this ),
you can use the script eth0DummyToggle which creates a dummy eth0 device.
(The MAC adress of the device can be configured inside the script).
Place license.dat and the downloaded rpm in the folder with the PKGBUILD,
then run
$ makepkg
$ sudo pacman -U lattice-diamond-*.pkg.*
start diamond with
$ diamond
The driver for the onboard programmer is bundled with the diamond software, but the linux kernel loads a different driver for the ftdi on the board. In order to fix this add the following udev rule (e.g. ``/etc/udev/rules.d/98-lattice.rules`):
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", MODE="0666"
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="6010", ATTRS{product}=="Lattice FTUSB Interface Cable", RUN+="/bin/bash -c '[[ $0 =~ .*\.0.* ]] && echo $0 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/ftdi_sio/unbind' $kernel"
The first line gives the lattice diamond executable access to the usb device, the second line disables the standard drivers for the first serial interface. After the change reload udev:
sudo udevadm control --reload
