Can you not run it on Windows 7 in a Virtual Machine?
Can you not run it on Windows 7 in a Virtual Machine?I´m afraid not, because of the high restrictions concerning the IT enviroment in our company.
I assume all USB Lattice programmers use the FTDI chip.
But let me tell you something, we got indeed a stationary win7 pc for programming chips who aren´t in-circuit programmable ones.
The files ( for eprom, eeprom, GALs, µCs and so on) are on the network, so the pc must be connected on the network also.
...Are not allowed to use...
...Are not allowed to use...I guess they disconnected the mice and keyboards as well? How can you work in such an evironment? It is like putting thick foam rubber padding on a hammer. Maybe it is better to just stop supporting the older products; just say that the IT department's rules get in the way.
I used to work for a company that handled secured projects but the IT department over there was very cooperative and never got in the way of getting work done.
Nevertheless, tomorrow one of our admins are at work, so I can ask him for installing the drivers and see what happens.

Nothing.
After several attempts he gave up...
My suggestion to activate the win 10 test mode he won´t or couldn´t use it for some reasons I´ve forgotten.
Meanwhile I´ve recognized the problem isn´t correctly described in my first post, so here is the correction:
Lattice ispvm 18.1 is intstalled on a notebook which got win10 as OS.
It runs but won´t detect the usb-programmer HW-USBN-2A because of missing drivers(thats what the failure message "says").
On my former notebook with win7 there was never a problem like this, so I guess the inbuild driver won´t function on win10.
The HW-USBN-2A adaptor doesn´t got the common ftdi chip, instead it got one from cyrus logic.
Found win10 driver for it, but they couldn´t get installed.

- Get a linux box set up
- If you're dependent on Windows SW, use a VM image
You may also need to uninstall some wrong drivers before right ones start functioning.
After two weeks they have yet to respond.
