The Curiosity PIC64GX1000 Kit ES 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. 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 ™ MIPI® CSI 2 Rx connector, and an HDMI output.
The PIC64GX MPU family meets mid-range intelligent edge compute needs with a 64-bit RISC-V® quad-core processor offering asymmetric multiprocessing and deterministic latencies. It features a configurable processor and memory subsystem to support secure boot and key management for military-grade security. The five-stage in-order pipeline is not vulnerable to Meltdown and Spectre exploits. Featuring a rich set of embedded peripherals and fully pin compatible with PolarFire® SoC FPGAs, the PIC64GX is an excellent choice for developing power-efficient embedded-compute platforms.
The expansion boards can be controlled using protocols like I2C and SPI. 1GB 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 and debug via the USB-to-JTAG channel.
