Lattice MachXO3L - is it available anywhere ?

It is official now- Lattice is out with ECP5.

Which seems awfull lot like XO3H under new name, which suggests that this is new high-end of their offer. Highest model has 85K luts.

Seems reasonable. At 90K or higher, ECP was never that cheap, so this makes sense. They also kept only smallest, cheapest packages.

They seem determined at staying in that niche. Which might not be so bad, we just have to see prices.

BTW, XO3L so far seems as heavy dissapointment.

Not only it wasn't improved WRT to XO2 ( there is nothing from what was promised), they removed FLASH block as it was done in XO2 and plopped in NCVM block, which is "multi-time progammable". Which means TWICE.

XO2 offered at least 10k programming cycles. 
So not only is this not good for prototyping, now it's understandable why there is no talk about UFM.

It still might be that XO3L is just "Celeron" part of the spectrum and that fully fledged XO3 is to come.

But prices at Digikey do not seem to follow that reduction in silicon and resources. XO3L is priced around XO2 of the same declared size.

So far, this is dissapointing.
Unless this is just uverture to XO3 and Sapphire. One can still hope. ;o)

This is freshly added on Lattice's site:

"The MachXO3-H FPGA family is a higher density family that will have more a=
dvanced features such as PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, etc."

If this is not just some marketing BS maneuvering, there is still a glimpse=
 of hope for the May announcement. :o)
