SUMMARY:
This is an advanced introduction to using non-Volatile modern FPGA SoC Technology. Number of places is limited to a maximum of 5 students.

Microsemi SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA Family technology is selected for this training laboratory. The selected chips include an embedded ARM Core Processor. This allows a single-chip system solution with powerful capabilities to be implemented. The technology is unique in its chip-wide distributed flash-based programmable logical cells.

TARGETS: The participant is expected to gain expertise summarized with at least the following learning targets:

CONTENTS:

• basic experience in project initialization and using the dedicated development system for that technology: " Libero SoC Design Software " for Microsemi FPGAs.
• Programming and debugging software using the embedded "ARM Cortex-M3 Processor with embedded flash memory"
• Programming and design procedure of hardware structures using "SmartFusion 2 FPGA-Cell-Fabrik" and linking the structures to the software in the embedded ARM-Core as a complete system solution.
• Using the special Hardware Security Infrastructure in the SmartFusion2 SoC chips.
• Implementing a fully functional small sample project using possibly many of the SoC FPGA resources and a variety of its I/O interfaces.

• SmartFusion2 KickStart Development Kit: AES-SF2-KSB-G
• SmartFusion2 Maker Board: M2S010-MKR-KIT
• Future Creative Development Board: FUTUREM2SF-EVB
• SmartFusion2 Security Evaluation kit: M2S090TS-EVAL-KIT

• Each student is expected to bring own laptop with adequate capabilities for Libero development system
• The number of participants is initially limited to 5 persons.
