Still without even the simplest free simulator?

Hi Antti,
ispLever now supports schematic for FPGA's as well as CPLD's.

Piotr,
In my opinion, if your design needs a simulator, then you better spend
some money on a real good simulator. BTW, the full version of ispLEVER
has ModelSim as simulator and the list price on Lattice's website is
$695, and when you order online 'only' $495. For this price you get
the OEM version of ModelSim - and this is by far the best deal you can
get

Regards,
Luc

Any idea what the limitations of the OEM version of Modelsim are for
the
Lattice OEM version?

John,

No X-Tracer
25-30% slower as full version (Altera has same limitation, Xilinx has
even slower version)

That's it.

Every design needs a simulator. Even as simple as that one from
Quartus Webpack -- it is still infinitely better than no simulator.

Currently the best deal I can get is not to use Lattice or Actel
parts -- the other vendors provide all the necessary tools.

I use xilinx build in simulator for Lattice designs :)
or ok usually I am not doing that either.

but sure a simulator is a nice a have feature (when it is available)
