MachXO3 Starter Kit User Guide EB95 Version 1.2, March 2016 MachXO3 Starter Kit User Guide Introduction Thank you for choosing the Lattice Semiconductor MachXO3 Starter Kit! This users guide describes how to start using the MachXO3 Starter Kit, an easy-to-use platform for evaluating and designing with the MachXO3 ultra-low density FPGA. Along with the board and accessories, this kit includes a pre- loaded demonstration design. You may also reprogram the on-board MachXO3 device to review your own custom designs. The MachXO3 Starter Kit currently features the MachXO3L-6900C (NVCM Based) or the MachXO3LF-6900C (Flash Based) device in the 256-ball 0.8 mm pitch caBGA package. The kit also includes a Serial Flash Memory for demonstrating external SPI boot-up. The external Flash Memory also supports a dual-boot mode in addition to Golden boot/fail-safe boot options. See the Ordering Information section for more information. Note: Static electricity can severely shorten the lifespan of electronic components. See the Storage and Handling section of this document for handling and storage tips. Features The MachXO3 Starter Kit includes: MachXO3L/LF Board The board is a 3 x 3 form factor that features the following on-board components and circuits: MachXO3 FPGA LCMXO3L-6900C-5BG256C (NVCM Based) or LCMXO3LF-6900C-5BG256C (Flash Based) USB mini-B connector for power and programming 4-Mb Serial Flash Memory for boot image and dual-boot support. Eight LEDs 4-position DIP switch Momentary push button switch 40-hole prototype area Four 2 x 20 expansion header landings for general I/O, JTAG, and external power 1 x 8 expansion header landing for JTAG 2 1 x 6 expansion header landing for SPI/I C 3.3 V and 1.2 V supply rails Pre-loaded Demo The kit includes a pre-loaded counter design that highlights use of the embedded MachXO3 oscillator and programmable I/Os configured for LED drive. USB Connector Cable The board is powered from the USB mini-B socket when connected to a host PC. The USB channel also provides a programming interface to the MachXO3 JTAG port.
