4651 - ECP3: What are the most important points to consider while performing on-chip deployment for Mico32?

While performing on-chip deployment for Mico32, consider these points:

1. The deployment design should contain the Debug interface address as enabled, and its address should be the first address of the system. Other component addresses should come after the Debug interface address only. The Debug interface address should be locked.

2. The Exception Base Handler address should be initialized with the address of the EBR component. After configuration, the Mico starts executing from this address and then moves to other addresses.

3. Ensure that the Local 'Reset_n' of Mico is not in an asserted state, as this will cause the Mico to be stuck at reset, and will prevent booting from the exception base address.

4. Ensure that the Bitstream is programmed for operation 'Fast Program' of Lattice Diamond Programmer.
