The PolarFire SoC Discovery Kit features a quad-core, 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. This full-featured, yet low-cost kit allows rapid testing of application concepts, developing firmware applications, programming and debugging user code.
The Discovery Kit is built around the PolarFire MPFS095T SoC FPGA that features an embedded microprocessor subsystem consisting of a quad-core, 64-bit CPU cluster based on the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). A large L2 memory subsystem can be configured for performance or deterministic operation and supports an asymmetric multi-processing (AMP) mode.
The board includes support for Microchip’s Mi-V ecosystem, a MikroBUS™ expansion header for Click Boards™ and a 40-pin Raspberry Pi® connector, as well as 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.
