			Let's start. I have created a compressed archive of many useful files that you can download all in one shot:
			[http://www.MKRD.info/uploads/Lattice_XO2_Learning_Kit.rar] [2.26GB]. This large file contains everything you need, including the Diamond IDE.


			You will also need a development board. I recommend the control board after having purchased the Pico board, and finding it to be rather limited and generally cheapo. For example, it is smaller than what the pictures show. The liquid crystal display is tiny as well. Capabilities of this board are generally limited. For example, there are no indication LEDs available which you can toggle from the device. Nevertheless, at $30, this is an extremely affordable way to start learning FPGAs.
