Overview
Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 Security Evaluation Kit makes it easy to develop secure embedded systems
and provides the best-in-class solutions for both Design Security—when protecting your design IP
is critical; and Data Security—when protecting application data is necessary. The kit provides a cost
effective SoC eld programmable gate array (FPGA) platform for developing SoC FPGA designs using
Microsemi’s SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs, which integrates inherently reliable ash-based FPGA fabric, a
166 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor, advanced security processing accelerators, DSP blocks, SRAM,
eNVM, and industry-required high-performance communication interfaces—all on a single chip.
Hardware Features
This kit enables you to do the following:
• Evaluate the Data Security features of SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs including:
• Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC)
• SRAM-PUF (Physically Unclonable Function)
• Random Number Generator (RNG)
• AES/SHA
• Anti-Tamper
• Develop and test PCI Express Gen2 x1 lane designs
• Test the signal quality of the FPGA transceiver using full-duplex SERDES SMA Pairs
• Measure the low power consumption of the SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA
• Quickly create a working PCIe link with the included PCIe Control Plane Demo
• Program the FPGA device using FlashPro4, FlashPro5, or embedded FlashPro5 programmers
The board includes an RJ45 interface to 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 512 MB of LPDDR, 64 MB SPI Flash,
and USB-UART connections, as well as I2C, SPI, and GPIO headers. The kit includes a 12 V power
adapter but can also be powered through the PCIe edge connector. Also included is a free Gold license
for the Libero SoC software toolset to enable FPGA development and to utilize the reference designs
made available with the kit.
