The Cortex™-M1-enabled Fusion Starter Kit has been discontinued, per PDN 0904. Actel recommends its replacement kit, Fusion Embedded Development Kit.
The Cortex-M1-enabled Fusion Starter Kit is a complete package that enables quick evaluation and design prototyping of Actel's Cortex-M1-enabled Fusion mixed-signal FPGA family with your own designs. This starter kit is fully RoHS-compliant. Fusion devices support the ARM® Cortex-M1 soft processor IP cores, offering the benefits of programmability and swift time-to-market. The Fusion families are based on nonvolatile flash technology and support 90 k to 1.5 M gates and up to 320 high-performance I/Os including 40 analog I/Os. The kit is fitted with M1AFS600-FGG484 silicon, which is enabled for Cortex-M1. The on-board programmer enables easy experimentation with ISP, device serialization, and FlashLock® on-chip system security. The Cortex-M1-enabled Fusion development board has on-board voltage regulation, enabling you to set some of the I/O bank voltages independently.
Key Features:
- Environmentally green, RoHS-compliant board
- Powered by external 5 V power supply
- USB connection for programming
- 2nd USB connection for UART
- Ability to measure current consumption of Actel Fusion
