IGLOO2 Evaluation Kit
Eletter Product |
Microsemi's IGLOO2 FPGA Evaluation Kit, priced at $99 for a limited time, is the lowest cost FPGA platform for developing cost-optimized FPGA designs using the newly introduced IGLOO2 FPGA, which offers best-in-class feature integration coupled with the lowest power, highest reliability and most advanced security in the industry. The IGLOO2 FPGA Evaluation Kit makes it easy to develop transceiver I/O-based FPGA designs to build PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet based systems. The kit provides access to evaluate the full capabilities of the IGLOO2 FPGA and includes PCIe® demos, designs and tutorials. The board is also small form-factor PCIe compliant which will allow quick prototyping and evaluation using any desktop PC or laptop with a PCIe slot.

The kit enables you to:
- Develop and test PCI Express Gen2 x1 lane designs
- Test signal quality of the FPGA transceiver using full-duplex SERDES SMA Pairs
- Measure the low power consumption of the industry leading low power IGLOO2 FPGA
- Quickly create a working PCIe link with included PCIe Control Plane Demo
The board includes an RJ45 interface to 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 512MB of LPDDR, 64MB SPI Flash, USB-UART connections as well as I2C, SPI and GPIO headers. The kit includes a 12V power supply but can also be powered via the PCIe edge
connector. Also included is a free Gold License for the Libero SoC software toolset to enable FPGA development and to utilize the reference designs made available with the kit. A FlashPro4 JTAG programmer is also included for programming and debugging.
