Info on programming

[thbreidenbach]

Hi, would it be possible to provide JEDs since I had issues building it in my Environment. (WIn10)
I haven't used the machx03 series before and Diamond doesn't recognize the device itself nor does it offer the exact board. Could you elaborate on programming?

After upgrading Diamond the FPGA is recognized correctly but the build process still fails under Windows. I have no RedHat installed and alien fails to reconfigure to .deb on my Ubuntu. So building is currently impossible...

The JED programming file can now be found in the archive deniser-1.0.0-bitfile.tar.gz at https://github.com/endofexclusive/deniser/releases.

Thank you! Just programmed my board and it works quite well. I got the issues you mentioned like sprites drawn below the display window and kickstart (3.1) first few rows are drawn on the right side. Most things run perfectly! Great work!
Will test different Screen modes and report.

Sorted out questions of non volatile flash programming.
Is it okay to report compatibility and/or display errors here in Git? So far most things work as expected, thumbs up!
Do you plan to cover the programming part in the docs? I think some might run into problems using lattice diamond. I will post a round-up on a1k.org.
