I am using openFPGALoader with Altera usb-blaster.
to write into flash I have to use -f --unprotect-flash Flags to write into permanent memory.
Otherwise it would write into temporary memory, which falls Back when reset the Chip or Power off

If you are interested I'm on the same journey and already drawed some nice housings for the Servo57c's www.printables.com/model/465393-nema23-s...ve-case-with-connect it is work in progress but I'm about to release the final version

Ok, installed, build, flashed, but i can not ping the board (5A-75E V8.2).
is it ok to build for ColorLight_5A_75E_V6_0 ?
how can i test the board ?
Thanks

EDIT: sorry, sorry, works

wrong IP

Transceivers U23,U24,U28 for J1,J2,J3,J4 are changed and the board still works, puhh.
BUT, never ever again ! horrorible !!!
BTW: i covered the 2 pins with kapton tape

I can blink out but not read on my input pin and the strange thing is this:

7 bit IN FALSE test_PWM_GPIO.gpio.input1.in
7 bit OUT FALSE test_PWM_GPIO.gpio.input1.in-not

.in and .in-not is set to FALSE at the same time , hmmmmmm

This works, but is not easy as looks...
I fought two days with many programmers with no result.
I have success with github.com/dirtyjtag/DirtyJTAG/releases/tag/2.0 ( github.com/dirtyjtag/DirtyJTAG/tree/master/docs/img ).
It is Interesting, the openFPGALoader with DirtyJTAG can write to protected flash, but not unprotects it permanent.
You can write bitstream to flash with DirtyJTAG, but with original Lattice programmer and software flash is still invisible...

openFPGALoader --unprotect-flash --write-flash -c dirtyJtag --bitstream filename.bit
