SmartFusion2 Maker Board now available globally from Digi-Key
The evaluation board is the lowest cost entry point for developers that wish to create applications for the ARM Cortex-M3 processor and 12K logic elements (LE) FPGA fabric in the SmartFusion2 SoC. The evaluation kit includes the board, a USB cable for power, programming and communications and a QuickStart Guide.
Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA family allows the hardware flexibility of low-density FPGA fabric, while also delivering low power consumption, security features and single event upset (SEU) FPGA configuration immunity. The SoC also offers GigE MAC, USB OTG, DDR2/3 controller and supporting peripherals. Features on the board include 1000BASE-T PHY and connector, two unpopulated interfaces for ESP32 and the ESP8266 (not included) and USB connectivity.
