Hi guys, I just can't seem to wrap my head around this one, I would like to implement the user flash into my project to use like eeprom, I'm hoping someone has a very basic example, like std_logic_vector of 15 down to 0 "input" and the same for "output", upon button press input is locked in memory for use on power up at "output". I've read the app notes from Lattice, I just can't visualize how to create this, would be fantastic if there was a simple example, just like a blink sketch or hello world. Thank you guys.
Looks like I might just have a better chance at interfacing NVSram or spi flash/eeprom. Not enough examples to help me understand how to use this feature, I can't even figure out how to use the softcores out there.
Hello here is hint for you how to use IPexpress http://datasheet.octopart.com/LCMXO2-4000HC-4TG144I-Lattice-Semiconductor-datasheet-17019214.pdf EFB Module in IPexpress Page 138. I send you later more info how to bind the ipexpress module *.ipx in your project und compile it with a simple RTL modules. Greetings Holger.

EFB. SPI I2C TIMER ect.pp. Geetings Holger.
Yeah none of this is making any sense, its not clear enough on how to generate the Ipexpress efb and whatever is needed to get UFM, every document is very vague about what to do, and just about every paragraph tells you to look into a different pdf to learn something else, it all seems to be a vicious circle of info for those who already know how to interact with the ise and import files/work the ports, Im coming from arduino environment where there are very well written and explained examples, I've somehow been able to get my project very well where it needs to be and it performs fantastically, in the beginning i taught myself how to add a very crude spi function to read a device with timers feeding timers that ran a When case, in the when case i controlled the Chip select, Mosi, Miso, and the Serial clock, with the help of a nifty logic analyzer i was able to see these lines and adjust to mimic what was shown in the datasheet for a spi transaction. the only thing im missing is a single on the fly adjustable 16bit memory location.
I'm to the point where im willing to hire someone to help me out, if my boss and i cant figure this out tomorrow, this is vital to finishing my project, and i really would like to learn this, seems be a huge lack in lattice fpga tutorials and examples, xilinx is so plentiful in examples but none of which that i have found are in the Non Volatile platforms with internal flash.
