SmartFusion Evaluation Kit Quickstart Card Kit Contents – A2F-EVAL-KIT-2 Quantity 1 Description SmartFusion® Evaluation board with A2F200M3F-FGG484 2 USB 2.0 A to mini-B cable Note: The A2F-EVAL-KIT-2 is RoHS compliant. Overview Microsemi’s SmartFusion Evaluation Kit provides designers access to SmartFusion customizable system-on-chip (SoC) FPGAs, the only devices that integrate an FPGA, an ARM® Cortex™-M3 processor, and programmable analog, offering full customization, IP protection, and ease-of-use. The device contains on-chip flash and on-chip SRAM memory, as well as additional SPI flash memory on the board.

JP8 is the UART header and JP9 is the I2C header. Jumpers JP11–JP14 control LED access. J23 is the SPI header. The UART and circuitry on the top left of the board replicate the functionality of the Microsemi standalone low-cost programming stick (LCPS) and provide the Microsemi programming and debug interface used with the FlashPro programming software and SoftConsole Integrated Design Environment (IDE) software. The RVI header on the board is used for communication through J-LINK or U-LINK for Keil™ and IAR Systems. The table below indicates how these settings can be used.

For a full description of all jumpers, refer to the SmartFusion Evaluation Kit User’s Guide. 2 SmartFusion Evaluation Kit Quickstart Card Running the Demo Design The SmartFusion Evaluation Kit comes with a preloaded demo design. If the board is programmed correctly, you will see the following message displayed on the OLED: Note: You may have to press the RESET or PUB switch to activate the demo design. The OLED will then update to show the following: If the board is not preprogrammed, the programming file and the source files for the demo are provided on the SmartFusion Evaluation Kit page. The programming file for the demo is provided standalone as a zip file under the SmartFusion Evaluation Kit Quickstart Card. The source files are posted with the SmartFusion Webserver Demo Using uIP and FreeRTOS document: www.microsemi.com/soc/products/hardware/devkits_boards/smartfusion_eval.aspx Running the Manufacturing Test You can run the manufacturing test to verify the device and board connections. The manufacturing test files are available from the SmartFusion Evaluation Kit web page. Instructions on how to run the test are available in the SmartFusion Evaluation Kit User's Guide. 3 SmartFusion Evaluation Kit Quickstart Card Software and Licensing The SmartFusion Evaluation Kit is supported by Libero® System-on-Chip (SoC) v10.0 or later, which includes a web install option. SoftConsole Software IDE and FlashPro are enabled by default in the web install; these software tools can be used for software design and debug. SmartFusion is also supported by Keil and IAR Systems, which can be installed separately. Refer to the SmartFusion Evaluation Kit User’s Guide for more information. Software releases: www.microsemi.com/download/software/libero Keil and IAR information: www.microsemi.com/soc/products/smartfusion/ecosystem.aspx Libero SoC v10.0 requires a valid Gold, Platinum, or Standalone Libero license. If you need a new license, select FREE Libero SoC Gold license and request a new one from your Microsemi Customer Portal account. This license supports all tools for designing with the SmartFusion family and associated development kits.
