Yes, I'm using their ispExpert, but the problem is, that I'd like to publish
a free/open hardware/open source design based on it.
Lattice removed the schematic diagram of their download cable from the
freely downloadable stuff. (BTW the new version of this cable [with JTAG,
and mixed chains functionalities] has never been freely published.)
The ispCODE, available formerly (together with dld cable schematic) with the
old Synario suite (in Lattice encyclopedia) is now password protected,
so one must fill in an application (with NDA??) to download it :-(.

Therefore I'm afraid, that both: download cable and download code, are now
considered by Lattice to be an confidential information.
That's why I ask about the UNRESTRICTED info on ispLSI download
hardware/software.

So the above is, what I was looking for. The only thing I'm lacking now is
the free version of ispCODE...
