Actel's SmartFusion™ Development Kit offers a full-featured development board so you can try the world's only FPGA with hard ARM® Cortex™-M3 and programmable analog. The device contains on-chip flash and SRAM memory, as well as additional off-chip memory on the board. The board can communicate via Ethernet and HyperTerminal. The board also contains LEDs, switches, OLED, and extensive analog experimentation, including voltage rail monitoring, current POT, temperature diodes and voltage sweeping using active bipolar prescalers (ABPS). Networking interfaces include Ethernet PHY, EtherCAT, CAN, UART, and RS485. See board details below for more information.

The kit is supported by Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE), Actel's design software that includes SoftConsole Eclipse-based GNU software IDE. You can also use a free evaluation version or full licensed version of either Keil™ or IAR Systems® compilers. The quickstart card and the user's guide will walk you through the options for software, downloads, and licensing.

Note: The previous version of this kit with the A2F200 device has been discontinued (A2F-DEV-KIT).

Web-based content includes user's guides, tutorials, design examples, and board documentation.
