Microsemi Drops Avnet

Looks like Avnet is no longer selling Microsemi products.  Shame, Avnet 
is good at providing low priced eval boards for a variety of products. 
They had a SmartFusion2 Kickstart board with some interesting peripheral 
devices.  Seems that is no longer supported in any way.

Back in May I got a message from Microsemi indicating that they were 
dropping using Avnet and enhancing their relationship with Arrow and 
Future due to "Changes in the Semiconductor Industry".

Yes I also have a smartfusion 2 board, and it was quite difficult to get 
the examples going. I finally got the schematics, so I can use it as a 
custom board, but it was a bit of work getting that.
