MCHPMPFS-ICICLE-KIT
Overview
The MPFS-ICICLE-KIT is a low-power development platform for the PolarFire SoC FPGA, the first RISC-V based SoC FPGA to support Linux. It features a five-core 64-bit RISC-V microprocessor subsystem integrated with a 254K logic element FPGA fabric. The board is designed for evaluating high-performance, thermally efficient applications at the edge.
Why Choose This Part
It offers a unique combination of low power consumption and high-speed I/O including PCIe Root Port and SGMII support. The kit provides significant expansion flexibility through Raspberry Pi 4, mikroBUS, and PCIe connectors, supported by 2GB of LPDDR4 memory.
