SmartFusion2 System-On-Chip (SoC) FPGA Starter Kit

The SmartFusion2 Starter Kit provides designers with a prototyping platform for 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 device resides on Emcraft Systems’ miniature (34mm x 59mm) mezzanine form factor System-On-Module (M2S-SOM), which integrates the SmartFusion2 SoC (FG896 package), 64MB LPDDR, 16MB SPI Flash and an Ethernet PHY. The SOM-BSB-EXT baseboard provides easyto-use benchtop access to the SmartFusion2 SoC and System-On-Module interfaces.
