Detailed Description
The SmartFusion2 starter kit supports industry-standard interfaces including Ethernet, USB, SPI, I2C and UART and includes a comprehensive breadboard to support unique design requirements.
The kit can be used with Microsemi's Libero SoC v11.0 software, which includes a free Libero Gold license and comes preloaded with a uClinux demo. Emcraft Systems' Linux-based development environment is also supported. The SmartFusion2 device is available on an Emcraft Systems miniature (34mm x 59mm) mezzanine form factor system-on-module (M2S-SOM), which connects to the SOM-BSB-EXT baseboard. The kit is USB powered and includes FlashPro4 programming.
The SF2-STARTER-KIT-ES is RoHS compliant
