<< Overview >>

Microsemi's SmartFusion2 Starter Kit provides designers with access to SmartFusion2 system-on-chip(SoC) FPGAs, which integrate inherently reliable flash-based FPGA fabric, a 166 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor, advanced security processing accelerators, DSP blocks, SRAM, eNVM and industry required high-performance communication interfaces all on a single chip.

The SmartFusion2 starter kit supports industry-standard interfaces including Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C and UART and includes a comprehensive breadboard to support unique design requirements. The kit can be used with Microsemi's Libero SoC v11.0 software, which includes a free Libero Gold license and comes preloaded with a uClinux demo. Emcraft Systems' Linux-based development environment is also supported. The SmartFusion2 device is available on an Emcraft Systems miniature (34mm x 59mm) mezzanine form factor system-on-module (M2S-SOM), which connects to the SOM-BSB-EXT baseboard. The kit is USB powered and includes FlashPro4 programming.
