Microchip PolarFire® SoC Discovery Kit
PolarFire® SoC Discovery Kit - 64-bit CPU cluster based on the RISC-V application-class processor
This open-source development kit features a quad-core, 64-bit CPU cluster based on the RISC-V application-class processor that supports Linux® and real-time applications, a rich set of peripherals and 95K of low-power, high-performance FPGA logic elements. The kit is ready for rapid testing of applications in an easy-to-use hardware development platform and offers a mikroBUS™ expansion header for Click boards™, a 40-pin Raspberry Pi™ connector, and a MIPI® video connector. The expansion boards can be controlled using protocols like I2C and SPI. One GB of DDR4 memory is available as well as a microSD® card slot for booting Linux. Communication interfaces include one Gigabit Ethernet connector and three UART connections via the USB type C connector. An on-board FlashPro5 programmer is available to program and debug the PolarFIre FPGA through USB-to-JTAG channel.
