Development kit pairs RISC-V and FPGA
The PolarFire SoC Discovery Kit from Microchip makes RISC-V and FPGA design accessible to a wider range of embedded engineers. This low-cost development platform allows students, beginners, and seasoned engineers alike to leverage RISC-V and FPGA technologies for creating their designs.
The Discovery Kit is built around the PolarFire MPFS095T SoC FPGA, which embeds a quad-core RISC-V processor that supports Linux and real-time applications. It also packs 95,000 FPGA logic elements. A large L2 memory subsystem can be configured for performance or deterministic operation and supports an asymmetric multiprocessing mode.
An embedded FP5 programmer is included for FPGA fabric programming, debugging, and firmware development. The development board also provides a MikroBUS expansion header for Click boards and a 40-pin Raspberry Pi connector, as well as a MIPI video connector. Expansion boards are controlled using protocols like I2C and SPI.
The PolarFire SoC Discovery Kit costs $132 for the general public and $99 when purchased through Microchip’s Academic Program. Production kit shipments are expected to commence mid-April 2024.
