1766 - LatticeECP3: Is the LatticeECP3 SCM(Serial Configuration Mode) similar to LatticeECP2 slave serial programming mode?

1766 - LatticeECP3: Is the LatticeECP3 SCM(Serial Configuration Mode) similar to LatticeECP2 slave serial programming mode?

Yes, the LatticeECP2 slave serial programming mode and the LatticeECP3 SCM modes are identical. Both modes use a simple 2-pin interface(CCLK and DIN).

The details of these programming modes are described in the LatticeECP3 sysCONFIG Usage guide and in the LatticeECP2/M sysCONFIG Usage guide.

Any of the LatticeECP2 firmware(such as c-source code from ispVMEmbedded or Diamond Deployment Tool) developed to model the GPIOs and load the bit stream can be replicated for use with the LatticeECP3 device.
