5487 - Diamond version 3.13 and below: Is Lattice Diamond supported on Ubuntu?
Lattice Diamond is NOT guaranteed to work on Ubuntu since we have not tested our tools on this OS.
Our tools are supported and tested on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. See the Lattice Diamond Installation Guide for Linux for the specific versions we support.
We always recommend that our customers use supported platforms for our software so that we can actively support and enhance them when issues are identified.
This FAQ is for guidance purposes only and is provided as is.
