As such, they do not include a built-in USB interface as that would increase the cost and complexity too much. Instead they rely on JTAG programmers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere comes the TinyFPGA Programmer. Rather than an FTDI2232 USB interface chip it uses a PIC16F1455 USB microcontroller. While not compatible with the FTDI2232 chip, the PIC micro has a much lower BOM cost allowing the programmer hardware to be cheaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe TinyFPGA Programmer slots onto the JTAG pins of the A-series FPGA boards. Using the TinyFPGA Programmer Application you can program .jed files generated by Lattice Diamond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on how to use the TinyFPGA Programmer with the A-series boards, see the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/tinyfpga.com\/a-series-guide.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eA-Series Userguide at TinyFPGA.com\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TinyFPGA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21210037354579,"sku":"TFPGA-001","price":11.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0174\/1800\/products\/TinyFPGA_Programmer_3_of_3.JPG?v=1548693121","url":"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/en-eu\/products\/tinyfpga-programmer","provider":"Pimoroni Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
