Embedded Prototyping Platform features PolarFire SoC FPGA Aldec has extended its TySOM family of embedded prototyping boards with the introduction of the TySOM-M-MPFS250. The board is the first in a planned series to feature a Microchip PolarFire SoC FPGA MPFS250T-FCG1152 and to have dual FMC connectivity. The PolarFire SoC FPGA offers low power consumption, improved thermal efficiency and defence-grade security making it suitable for smart, connected systems. It is also the first SoC FPGA to provide a coherent RISC-V CPU cluster and a deterministic L2 memory subsystem - making it capable of running Linux and real-time applications. The RISC-V CPU micro-architecture implementation is a five-stage single issue in-order pipeline. The five cores are 1x SiFive E51 Monitor core (RV64IMAC) and 4x SiFive U54 Application cores (RV64GC). Of these five, four can be used for the Linux OS. The SoC FPGA also includes 254K of FPGA logic elements, LSRAM, uPROM and uRAM.
