Hi robinson5,
I am just checking if there has been any news from Valentin? Any progress that you can inform us on? |

I've just registered with Lattice, which means once someone approves my registration I should be able to download the software and see if I can get it running on my Linux box. (It's not RedHat based so it might be a bit of a fight.) Then if the current source builds without complaint I can look at what I can change, hopefully without bringing it crashing down in a smoking heap! |

That's fantastic news! Thanks for your great help. I'd be happy with just ECS as long it is brought up to speed with new updates but if you can squeeze AGA in there I won't complain .
Stay away from smoking heap! |

Hi Robinsonb5, how is it going with your experiments?

Nothing to report yet, I'm afraid. I don't have the software installed yet.
I need to figure out whether or not I can persuade it to run on any of my existing Linux installs, or whether I'm going to have to install a whole new distro / chroot / vm specifically for that. Once I've verified that I have a box capable of running the software, *then* I can go through the rigmarole of requesting a noce-locked license (requires the MAC address of the machine it's going to to be used on.) An added complication is that the first account I created on their website to download the software never got "activated" to the point where it would allow me to request a license. In short, there's been enough friction that other less hassle-filled tasks have been bubbling to the top of my ToDo list. (Someone suggested to me that the account problem might be because I used a gmail address, so a week or so back I tried again using a non-gmail address, and that account does now seem to be active, so... maybe I can make some progress soon.) |

No worries Robinsonb5, I was just checking in since it had been quite some time since last reply.
Thank you for the interest for for still putting some work into it. |

So sad to know this little device is fallen into the abyss. Any news about this indeed?

Sorry for the radio silence. I still haven't succeeded in getting Diamond up and running or obtaining a license, but I am now tinkering with the open source toolchain (Yosys / nextpnr / Project Trellis) on a couple of other Lattice ECP5-based boards. While it's unrealistic to expect Minimig to build or to fit using the open-source toolchain at the moment, in theory I think it should be fairly straightforward to add a FleaOhm target to some other projects. |

Don't worry, I won't forget the MiST - in fact my aim is to make it as easy as possible to build MIST cores for multiple boards. MiST has a very nice baseline feature set - so even though the hardware's no longer available, it's still very much relevant. |

Thank you, but I haven't received it - I just realised that I signed up to EAB years ago using an email address that no longer exists - so I've just updated it. I've also... <drumroll please>... finally managed to get Diamond (mostly) up and running on Linux Mint 20.03, *and* managed to get a node-locked license. (It turns out the Lattice account I created using a non-webmail email address was activated while I wasn't looking, so can now request licenses.) |
