Getting Started

To begin development, mount a compatible Trenz 4x5 SoM onto the carrier and provide a 12V DC power supply. Configure the Lattice MachXO2 System Controller if custom power sequencing is required, and use the Micro USB port for JTAG programming and serial terminal access. Firmware can be booted directly from the Micro SD card slot.
