  WARNING!

  Recently Lattice scrapped free licenses of ispLEVER as commented on:

  • https://hackaday.com/2020/06/05/lattice-semiconductor-targets-bitstream-reverse-engineering-in-latest-propel-sdk-license/#comment-6251870

  You can also look at official Lattice page for confirmation:

  • http://www.latticesemi.com/licensing

  Therefore please verify that you have valid ispLEVER license before buying anything from Lattice!
