• Manufacturer Part Number: ISPGDX240VA-9B388I
• Description: In-System Programmable 3.3V Generic Digital CrosspointTM
• Manufacturer: Lattice Semiconductor

The ispGDX Development System supports ispGDX
design using a simple language syntax and an easy-to-
use Graphical User Interface (GUI) called Design
Manager. From creation to In-System Programming, the
ispGDX system is an easy-to-use, self-contained design
tool delivered on CD-ROM media.
Features
• Easy-to-use Text Entry System
• ispGDX Design Compiler
• Industry Standard JEDEC File for Programming
• Min / Max Timing Report
• Interfaces To Popular Timing Simulators
• User Electronic Signature (UES) Support
• Detailed Log and Report Files For Easy Design Debug
• On-Line Help
• Windows
• SUN O/S, Command Line Driven version available
PC Version
With the ispGDX GUI for the PC, command line entry is
not required. The tools run under Microsoft Windows 3.1,
Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT. When the
ispGDX software is invoked, the Design Manager and an
accompanying message window are displayed. The
Design Manager consists of the Menu Bar, Tool Bar,

Status Bar and the work area. The figure below shows
these elements of the ispGDX GUI.
The Menu Bar displays topics related to functions used in
the design process. Access the various drop-down menus
and submenus by using the mouse or “hot” keys. The
menu items available in the ispGDX system are FILE,
EDIT, DEVICE, INVOKE, INTERFACES, VIEW, WIN-
DOW and HELP.
The Tool Bar is a quick and easy way to perform many of
the functions found in the menus with a single click of the
mouse. File, Edit, Undo, Redo, Find, Print Download and
Compiler are just some of the Icons found in the ispGDX
Tool Bar. For instance, the Compiler Icon performs the
same function as the Invoke => Compiler menu com-
mands, including design analysis and rule checking and
the fitting operation.
The Status Bar displays action prompts and the line and
column numbers reflect the location of the cursor within
the message window or the work area.
Workstation Version
The ispGDX software is also available for use under the
Sun O/S 4.1.x or Solaris 2.4 or 2.5. The Sun version of the
ispGDX software is invoked from the command line
under the UNIX operating system. A GUI is not supported
in this environment.
In the UNIX environment, the ispGDX Design File (GDF)
must be created using a text editor. Once the GDF has
been created, invoke the ispGDX workstation software
from the UNIX command line. The following is an ex-
ample of how to invoke ispGDX software.
Usage:
