1927 - Diamond: How does the user know the mandatory Lattice Diamond files to save so that the user can re-generate the bitstream at a later time?


To save the Lattice Diamond files that are needed to re-generate a bitstream at a later time,  use the Project Archiving feature in the main Lattice Diamond window. The Project Archive is a single compressed .zip file that can contain the minimum source files and information required to re-generate the bitstream (the default) or can contain all files in the project. 
  1. Invoke Lattice Diamond
  2. Open the Project to save for use at a later time
  3. In the main Lattice Diamond window, select: File->Archive Project ...
  4. In the Archive Project dialog box, specify a file name and location for the archive .zip file.
If user want all project files saved in the archive file, instead of just the required files,
check the box (Archive all files under the Project directory) in the lower left corner
of the Archive Project dialog box and select Save
After archiving the project, user can reload the project in the main window at any time using: File->Open->Archived Project...

This Project Archiving feature is described in the Lattice Diamond Help:
