Lattice Diamond crashes when programming FPGA

This is a long shot but I'd thought I try here.

I have already refered to the docs here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lattice_Diamond

And I am able to use the software just fine including having the software detect my FTDI cable just fine. I am using the official lattice programmer.

However, when actually trying to program my device, after about ~1min after hitting the program button, the software just crashes (segfault) without actually programming the device. Programming in a Windows 11 VM with usb pass through works just fine, so it is not the progammer I am using.

Has anyone encountered this and found a solution? I highly doubt Lattice itself will provide any support on this.

Is core dump stored to the journal? Can you run 

$ coredumpctl debug

after crash?

Looks like Linux is officially supported. I think they can if you provide them technical details.

Ah,

The supported Linux Operating Systems are Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.9 or 8.8 64-bit and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or 22.04 LTS.

PKGBUILD mangles around shared libraries and probably breaks ABI.
