Digi-Key SmartFusion® 2 Maker Board
Digi-Key’s Maker Board provides designers with a low-cost evaluation board to access the SmartFusion2 system-on-chip (SoC) FPGA. This device integrates a 12K LE flash-based FPGA fabric, a 166 MHz ARM Cortex-M3 processor, DSP blocks, SRAM, eNVM, and general purpose GPIO interfaces all on a single chip.
The Digi-Key SmartFusion2 Maker Board (M2S010-MKR-KIT) supports a USB port for JTAG programming, UART communications, and powering the board. The board also features an SPI flash, a 50 MHz clock source, 8 user LEDS, 2 user pushbuttons, a light sensor, and the VSC8541 PHY for 100 Mbps/1 Gbps Ethernet. There are also two unpopulated laid out connections—these pinouts support an ESP8266 and an ESP32 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module (not included). The pinout is set up for programming and communication to the SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA. The board can be used with Microsemi’s Libero SoC v11.8 software or more recent versions of it. SoftConsole, an IDE for C/C++ programming of the ARM Cortex-M3 is available. The kit is powered through an LX7167A power module and includes integrated FlashPro5 programming hardware.

Included Demo Design
When the Digikey SmartFusion2 Maker Board is powered on, all 8 LEDs will flash on and off repeatedly. Once user button 1 is pressed, the ambient light sensor will be continuously read.
The result of the light sensor reading will be shown visually across the 8 LEDs as a bar graph.
