Cortex-M1-enabled ProASIC3L Development Kit

User Guide: Download User Guides

Overview

Microchip's ARM ® CortexTM-M1-enabled ProASIC ®3L Development Kit provides you with a complete solution for quickly evaluating and prototyping your design based on Microchip's Cortex-M1-enabled ProASIC3L devices. The development kit is fully RoHS-compliant and contains the incredibly powerful ARM Cortex-M1-enabled ProASIC3L M1A3P1000L device in the FGG484 package.
The development kit enables swift design development based on the royalty-free, industry standard ARM Cortex-M1 processor. The development board has on-board voltage regulation, enabling you to set some of the I/O bank voltages independently. A regulator circuit on the board facilitates control of the core voltage. The core voltage can be switched manually or electronically for programming purposes and returned to the 1.2 V setting for the lowest power consumption. The evaluation board also enables you to measure the full current capability of independent I/O banks and VCC for accurate power analysis.
Advanced AES encryption for enhancing programming security is used when experimenting with the starter kit. The encryption key is preprogrammed into the device to allow the latest ARM FPGA-specific processor soft core, Cortex-M1, to be used.
