6706 - Diamond 3.12: Is it normal for the placement and routing, and in turn, the generated bitstream, to change when a part of the RTL is changed, even if it wouldn't change the overall logic?
Solution:
Yes. The software generates a new PAR seed every time a change is made to the design RTL, regardless of the change's impact on the overall logic of the design.

6659 - Diamond 3.12 and All FPGA: Is it normal for the placement and routing, and in turn, the generated bitstream, to change when a part of the RTL is changed, even if it wouldn't change the overall logic?
Description: Diamond software just checks ANY changes in the RTL for it to change its seed. Solution: Yes. The software generates a new PAR seed every time a change is made to the design RTL, regardless of the change's impact on the overall logic of ...
3671 - Diamond: Is there a need to run the complete implementation flow>to view the physical and floor plan views even there is small change in the design?
Solution: Yes, there is, even if a small modification happens in source code whether its a logic change or a code clean up, the Lattice Diamond considers them as a source code change and will run the complete implementation flow to view the Floor ...
3514 - Diamond: Why is there a difference in the bitstream file size with a small logic modification in LatticeECP3?
The bitstream file size increases even with a small modification. The bitstream comprises both fuse data frames (SRAM configuration bits) and EBR initialization information. Fuse data frame size is fixed for the given device irrespective of how huge ...
7040 - Programmer version 3.12: Why is the checksum value different between bitstream generated with Diamond 3.12 and 3.10.
Starting from Diamond version 3.12, bitstream checksum value is changed from 4 bytes to 2 bytes checksum output when perform operation “SPI Flash Calculate File Size Checksum” in programmer.
6867 - Lattice Radiant: Why is the bitstream file size fixed (ex. Always 1.8Mb) even in small designs for Certus-Pro NX?
Certus Pro-NX, the BIT file size on simplest design is 1.8MB, while for Crosslink-NX it generates 790KB. Whenever design becomes more condensed (especially more usage of EBRs and LRAMs) bitstream size will increase from that 1.8MB. The bitstream size ...
