Overview

Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 Security Evaluation Kit makes it easy to develop secure embedded systems and provides the best-in-class solutions for both Design Security—when protecting your design IP is critical, and Data Security—when protecting application data is necessary. The kit provides a cost effective SoC field programmable gate array (FPGA) platform for developing SoC FPGA designs using Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs, which integrates inherently reliable flash-based FPGA fabric, a 166 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor, advanced security processing accelerators, DSP blocks, SRAM, eNVM, and industry-required high-performance communication interfaces—all on a single chip.

Hardware Features

This kit enables you to do the following:

  • Evaluate the Data Security features of SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs, including:
  • Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
  • SRAM-PUF (Physically Unclonable Function)
  • Random Number Generator (RNG)
  • AES/SHA
  • Anti-Tamper
  • Develop and test PCI Express Gen2 x1 lane designs
  • Test the signal quality of the FPGA transceiver using full-duplex SERDES SMA Pairs
  • Measure the low power consumption of the SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA
  • Quickly create a working PCIe link with the included PCIe Control Plane Demo
  • Program the FPGA device using FlashPro4, FlashPro5, or embedded FlashPro5 programmers
  • The board includes an RJ45 interface to 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 512 MB of LPDDR, 64 MB SPI Flash, and USB-UART connections, as well as I2C, SPI, and GPIO headers.
  • The kit includes a 12 V power adapter but can also be powered through 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.
