MCHPMPFS-DISCO-KIT
Overview
The MPFS-DISCO-KIT is a development platform for the PolarFire SoC FPGA, the industry's first RISC-V based SoC FPGA. It features the MPFS095T SoC which integrates a Linux-capable quad-core 64-bit RISC-V CPU cluster with a low-power, high-reliability FPGA fabric. This kit provides an entry point for developers to evaluate a hardware-secure, thermal-efficient architecture for embedded systems.
Why Choose This Part
This kit stands out for its 1GB of DDR4 memory and high-speed connectivity options like SGMII and USB Type-C. It offers excellent thermal efficiency compared to SRAM-based FPGAs and provides significant expansion via Raspberry Pi 40-pin and mikroBUS headers.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers should download the Microchip Libero SoC Design Suite for FPGA development and the SoftConsole IDE for RISC-V C/C++ software projects. The board supports Linux out-of-the-box via the microSD slot, and the onboard USB-to-UART bridge provides easy access to the serial console for debugging.
