IGLOO Low Power FPGA Icicle Evaluation Board The Fusion Embedded Development Kit provides a comprehensive solution for quickly evaluating Microsemi's Fusion® mixed-signal FPGA family and prototyping your design. This development kit enables swift design development based on the royalty-free, industry standard ARM® Cortex™-M1 processor or Core8051. The kit is fully RoHS-compliant and contains the incredibly powerful ARM Cortex-M1-enabled Fusion M1AFS1500 device in the FGG484 package

The development kit helps you to demonstrate a single-chip solution for monitoring analog signals, managing power and monitoring temperature in complex embedded systems. The kit also has an on-board voltage regulation mechanism to control internally generated voltage from the Fusion device or externally generated voltage from the on-board regulators. Test points available on the evaluation board enable you to measure total current consumption of the M1AFS1500-FGG484.

The included programming stick enables easy experimentation with ISP, device serialization and FlashLock® on-chip system security.
