Board Description
M2S150-ADV-DEV-KIT offers a full-featured development board for SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs. The
board integrates the following features on a single chip.
•
Reliable flash-based FPGA fabric
•
166 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor
•
Advanced security processing accelerators
•
Digital signal processing (DSP) blocks
•
Static random-access memory (SRAM)
•
Embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM)
•
High-performance communication interfaces
The SmartFusion2 Advanced Development Board has several standard interfaces including:
•
USB
•
x4 serializer and deserializer (SerDes)
•
DDR3 memory
•
JTAG
•
Inter-integrated circuit (I2C)
•
Serial peripheral interface (SPI)
•
Universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART)
•
Dual gigabit Ethernet
The SmartFusion2 memory management system supports 1 GB (4 × 256 MB) on-board DDR3 memory
for data storage, 256 MB DDR3 memory for error detection and correction (ECC-SECDED), and 2 GB
(2 × 1 GB) memory for SPI flash devices. The SerDes block can be accessed using the PCIe edge
connector, high-speed sub-miniature version-A (SMA) connectors, or an on-board FPGA mezzanine
card (FMC) low pin count (LPC) connector (J60). Unused MSIOD signals are routed to the J60 connector
from the SmartFusion2 device. Unused MSIO signals are routed to another on-board FMC connector—
HPC (J30), and although the bread board connector (J350) space available for Bank 4 (MSIO) pins.
The SmartFusion2 device can be programmed through embedded FlashPro5. The Advanced
Development Kit has the current measurement feature (see
page 11).
