7204 - How to properly Configure FPGA with on-board programmer using HW-USBN-2A/B?
When configuring FPGA using HW-USBN-2A/B with an on-board programmer, especially Lattice evaluation boards, users must disable the on-board programmer (FTDI) by pulling the reset pin to LOW to have a successful operation. This is to avoid channel contention between the two programmers.
