7511 - Radiant: How to change the SynplifyPro version used in the tool?
There are two ways users can switch to a different SynplifyPro version other than Lattice Radiant OEM.
Option 1: Setting Radiant GUI settings.
1. Open Radiant GUI.
2. Click Tools > Option
3. Under the General Tab, go to Directories
4. Uncheck the Use OEM on the SynplifyPro section and change the path to where the SynplifyPro software that the user wants to use is installed.
5. Click Apply Once Done.
Compiling the design via GUI or TCL script should invoke the SynplifyPro version indicated on the path settings.
Option 2: Setting the environment variable SYNPLIFY_PATH
Users can also utilize the environment variable "SYNPLIFY_PATH" to switch versions of SynplifyPro upon invoking a script.
The user only needs to create the environment variable named "SYNPLIFY_PATH" and point it to where SynplifyPro is installed (which can be added to the user script).
Please note that setting this environment variable takes the highest priority to specify the SynplifyPro install path, compared to the Radiant GUI settings.
Example:
$ export SYNPLIFY_PATH=/home/<user>/lscc/radiant/2024.1/synpbase
