Lattice LCD-Pro Advanced Video Graphics Controller Evaluation Kit
The LCD-Pro Evaluation Kit enables evaluation and demonstration of the functions of the LCD-Pro Library, a set of flexible, configurable IP
cores which can be used to implement versatile and powerful display control, graphics and video applications. The library is based around
the industry standard AMBA™ bus architecture, allowing interconnection of the LCD-Pro IP with a wide range of system components
compatible with the AMBA™ bus. The LCD-Pro IP cores are targeted to Lattice FPGAs, specially optimized for the LatticeECP2 low-cost FPGA
family. The library contains several IP providing advanced graphics system functionalities.

Extensive LCD-Pro IP Library
The library offers simplified system and host interfacing due to the use of the widely adopted, industry standard, AMBA® bus architecture
and included system interface cores. The cores, which are configurable with various implementation options available, offer a high degree of
solution scalability. Additionally, the cores are designed and optimized for high speed required in state-of-the-art graphics systems,
providing simplified timing closure and short development time.

Required Software
STEP 1 - Configurator:
The Lattice LCD-Pro Advanced Touch-Screen Video Graphics Controller Evaluation Kit comes complete with the full
LCD-Pro library of time-limited IP and LCD-Pro Configurator software and Plugins on CD-ROM. The LCD-Pro Configurator software can be
installed on a PC and the LCD-Pro Evaluation Kit connected to the PC via the included USB cable. The kit does not require any additional
software for evaluation of the functionality of the included IP.
To download the latest version of the LCD-Pro Configurator software,
visit this link.
STEP 2 - LCD Pro IP Cores:
: The LCD-Pro IP library comprises 11 cores from Exor-Sitek which offer a variety of functions for use with the
LCD-Pro Evaluation Kit. A single download from IP Express provides access to all cores for evaluation. To purchase, customers can buy one
of 3 suites which comprise various IP as shown in the table above.
Evaluate:
Similar to other Lattice IP cores, the IP cores for LCD Pro can be evaluated free of charge. The IP ("Display Controller Suite")
download from IP Express includes all the IP cores listed in the table above. Some or all the cores can be selected during the installation
process.
Purchase:
To purchase one of the 3 suites, please contact your
local Lattice Sales Representative.
