Hi Collin,
I tried to flash gMux now. I entered the license key and it says valid license and error msg halfway downloarding the firmware. I checked the connections and the connectivity is fine. any clue?

Hi Colling,
I tried so many times and also resolder the connections. Still the same msg. I get the same msg disconnecting the USB as well. So I thought may be driver issue. I reinstalled the drivers and checked with different Lattice programmer as I have 2. Still no change. when i install the drivers msg came drivers installed successfully. Im using windows 10 pro 64 bit.
Any clue?

Am having the same issue two different boards same error no luck for the past couple weeks
Have you checked and verified that the driver for the programmer is installed properly? To install the driver, the driver installer executable needs to be run as administrator. You can verify that the driver was installed successfully by checking Device Manager, and you should see "Lattice Programmer" under USB devices.
Yes when I connect it to the computer it does recognize it as lattice programmer...but still doesn’t flash the gmux
If you run the Demux program as administrator, it should leave a file in the root of your hard disk, named "programmer.log". Send me this file, as it will allow me to determine the cause of the issue.
The file will be made when attempting to do a flash. If the directory exists, it may be in %AppData%\LatticeSemi instead.
It could very well be... One other thing, are you using a VM or a physical machine? I'd highly advise using a physical machine if you're not.
im using hp desktop physical machine.
