Right. The answer depends on the PCI core in the LFXP10e Lattice
FPGA.

Even if the HQ core or even HQ firmware does not do any bus
mastering, it might still be possible with the card.


But I fear that someone asking the question might have misunderstood
the purpose of the board. The Lattice chip is an FPGA and thus
reprogrammable. PCI bus master or not is not really a property of the
physical hardware.
