Microchip Technology IGLOO2 Evaluation Kit

Microchip IGLOO2 Evaluation Kit is an FPGA platform for developing cost-optimized FPGA designs using IGLOO2 FPGA. The FPGA offers best-in-class feature integration coupled with the industry's lowest power, highest reliability, and most advanced security. The IGLOO2 evaluation kit makes developing transceiver I/O-based FPGA designs to build PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet-based systems easy. The board is also small form-factor PCIe compliant, allowing quick prototyping and evaluation using any desktop PC or laptop with a PCIe slot.

The board includes an RJ45 interface to 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 512MB of LPDDR, 64MB SPI Flash, USB-UART connections, and I2C, SPI, and GPIO headers. The kit includes a 12V power supply and can be powered via 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. A FlashPro4 JTAG programmer is also included for programming and debugging.

Features

  • Develop and test PCI Express Gen2 x1 lane designs
  • Test signal quality of the FPGA transceiver using full-duplex SERDES SMA Pairs
  • Measure the low power consumption of the IGLOO2 FPGA
  • Quickly create a working PCIe link with included PCIe Control Plane Demo and several more demos coming soon
