2073 - Diamond: Is there a limitation to the name that user can give for their project directory?<br>

Yes.

The only limitation that Lattice has found is when the project directory name has the string " -" (i.e. a space followed by a dash). During a software run, this string pattern causes the tools to process any string after the " -" as a software option. This will cause an erroneous result(s) or resulting files written to incorrect location.

Another common cause for this issue is when a PC user copied a project directory without renaming the copied directory. For example:

  • User have a project directory called "Lattice_Project"
  • User then copy-and-paste this directory, which resulted in a copied directory called "Lattice_Project - Copy". Notice that copied directory has a " -" pattern.
  • This will cause the issue described above.

Please do not use the string " -" (space followed by dash) in user project directory name(s).
