Actel announced the availability of the CoreMP7 Development Kit, a complete Providing users with everything needed to evaluate and design FPGA-based system-on-chip (SoC) applications, the kit includes the CoreMP7, the Actel ARM7-enabled M7 ProASIC3 device and FPGA development tools. The Development Kit includes a standalone development board and the CoreConsole IP Deployment Platform (IDP), the Libero Gold Integrated Design Environment (IDE), GNU software tools and a CoreMP7 debugger. In addition, a FlashPro3 programmer is optionally available to provide programming and debug support for both the FPGA fabric and the ARM7 software. Interfacing seamlessly, the CoreConsole IDP and the Libero IDE together enable designers to assemble, simulate, synthesize, layout, program and debug a CoreMP7-based system. To further ease ARM7 software program development for CoreMP7, the CoreConsole IDP outputs a memory map and drivers that can be utilized with the GNU software tools. The board is available with either an M7A3PE600 or M7A3P1000 device in an FG484 package, providing FPGA real estate for design implementation. It also includes: Ethernet, RS232, USB and CAN interface connectors; PHY interfaces; up to 150 user-defined I/Os for easy connection to other systems and components in an application; and 2M SRAM and 2M flash memory. Available now, the CoreMP7 Development Kit is priced at $695. The kit with the FlashPro3 programmer is priced at $795.
