I did have the (NDA) programming documents from LatticeSemi and Intel for these parts, and seem to remember that the Lattice programming algorithms were not complete in the regular chip documentation.
While moving Lattice tools around I noticed that here:
/home/.../Diamond/IspVMsystem/isptools/ispvmsystem/Database/ee9/22v10a/ are these files:
ispgal22v10avp28_spi_loader.jed ispgal22v10avq32_spi_loader.jed ispVM_005b.xdf
Perhaps some of the tools do still exist?
