Install on debian 64bits
- First alien is needed to convert the rpm in debian package :
sudo apt-get install alien
- Convert it to deb package then install it (take a long time ~13 min):
$ sudo alien diamond_3_10-base_x64-111-2-x86_64-linux.rpm Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package diamond_3_10-base_x64: postinst postrm preinst prerm Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts. diamond-3-10-base-x64_3.10-112_amd64.deb generate
- Then install it
$ sudo dpkg -i diamond-3-10-base-x64_3.10-112_amd64.deb Selecting previously unselected package diamond-3-10-base-x64. (Reading database ... 336262 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to unpack diamond-3-10-base-x64_3.10-112_amd64.deb ... Unpacking diamond-3-10-base-x64 (3.10-112) ... Setting up diamond-3-10-base-x64 (3.10-112) ...
- The package is not correctly installed in directory /usr/local/diamond/. All tar.gz must be deflated :
cd /usr/local/diamond/3.10_x64/ cd bin/; sudo tar -zxvf bin.tar.gz;sudo rm bin.tar.gz; cd .. cd synpbase/;sudo tar -zxvf synpbase.tar.gz;sudo rm synpbase.tar.gz; cd .. cd examples/;sudo tar -zxvf examples.tar.gz;sudo rm examples.tar.gz; cd .. cd data/;sudo tar -zxvf data.tar.gz; sudo rm data.tar.gz; cd .. cd cae_library/;sudo tar -zxvf cae_library.tar.gz; sudo rm cae_library.tar.gz; cd .. cd ispfpga/;sudo tar -zxvf ispfpga.tar.gz;sudo rm ispfpga.tar.gz; cd .. cd tcltk/;sudo tar -zxvf tcltk.tar.gz; sudo rm tcltk.tar.gz; cd .. cd embedded_source/;sudo tar -zxvf embedded_source.tar.gz; sudo rm embedded_source.tar.gz; cd ..
- Install libpng correctly:
cd /usr/local/diamond/3.10_x64/bin/lin64 sudo mv libpng12.so.0 libpng12.so.0.old sudo ln /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpng12.so.0 -s libpng12.so.0
- save the license.dat received by mail in following directory:
/usr/local/diamond/3.10_x64/license/
- Add this lines in your ~/.bashrc:
#Lattice Diamond
export PATH=$PATH:"/usr/local/diamond/3.10_x64/bin/lin64"
- open a new terminal (or re-source your .bashrc) then launch diamond:
diamond
USB rights
Launching diamond can raise this error :
$ libusb couldn't open USB device /dev/bus/usb/003/007: Permission denied. libusb requires write access to USB device nodes. Erreur de segmentation
To avoid it, just add udev rules in etc config :
$ sudo vim /etc/udev/rules.d/90-lattice-usb.rules
And add this line :
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", ATTR{idVendor}=="0403", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"
See the explanation here.
Service Packs SP1 and SP2
- Download sp2
- Convert rpm do deb (~5min):
$ sudo alien diamond_3_10-sp2_x64-115-1-x86_64-linux.rpm Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package diamond_3_10-sp2_x64: postinst postrm preinst prerm Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts. diamond-3-10-sp2-x64_3.10-116_amd64.deb generated
