Microsemi’s SmartFusion®2 maker board, available exclusively at Digi-Key, provides designers with the lowest cost evaluation board to access the SmartFusion2 system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA. This device integrates a 12 K LE Flash-based FPGA fabric, a 166 MHz ARM® Cortex®-M3 processor, DSP blocks, SRAM, eNVM, and general purpose GPIO interfaces all on a single chip.
The SmartFusion2 Maker Board (M2S010-MKR-KIT) includes the following features:
- The SmartFusion2 M2S010 SoC FPGA
- The 10/100/1000BASE-T VSC8541 PHY
- Wurth Electronics RJ45 7499111221A
- Ambient light sensor
- 16 Mbit SPI Flash
- Eight user LEDs
- USB integrated FlashPro5 programming hardware

The SmartFusion2 maker board can be used with Microsemi’s Libero SoC v11.8 software or more recent versions of it. Libero SoC with a silver license will program the FPGA fabric of the SmartFusion2. To code the ARM Cortex M3, Microsemi offer a full featured, Eclipse based IDE called SoftConsole. This IDE enables firmware engineers to program in C/C++ and includes full debugging of the ARM Cortex-M3.
