Hello, I've bought a lattice icestick (http://www.latticesemi.com/icestick) and programmed it with iceprog (http://www.clifford.at/icestorm/) with the following verilog code: example.v: module top (input a, b, output y); assign y = a & b; endmodule example.pcf: set_io a 1 set_io b 10 set_io y 11 All works great, but I don't know how to interact with this small circiut on my FPGA. How can I (for example) send a 1 for the a-input and another 1 to the b-input and then getting a 1 from the FPGA back. Do I need a special program for this or something like that? Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Banane

It seems that a connector can be soldered to the stick, the pin numbers probably correspond to pin numbers on the FPGA. This way, signals can be routed to external circuitry.
First of all, thank you for your fast response. I am searching for a software solution for this problem. Do you know anything?

Do you know a solution for my problem? To go into detail: I would like to set a and b manually ( 1 or 0 ) and then see the result on y (in terminal/ on a program or something). First, I only need one Logic Tile, only one LUT4 of the FPGA but it is hard to understand the documentation of the icestorm project because I only want to work with digital IN and OUT puts and not with LEDs/clock or something.

If you mastered the tool chain, flash programming etc., there is still plenty of time to start with external inputs and not-so-easy-to-observe outputs and later make your results visible on a PC (that's still somewhat further away...). Divide (into simple steps) and conquer is the way to do it.
