Introduction

Microchip’s IGLOO2 FPGA Evaluation Kit makes it easier to develop embedded applications that involve motor control, system management, industrial automation, and high-speed serial I/O applications such as PCIe, SGMII, and user-customizable serial interfaces. The kit offers best-in-class feature integration coupled with the lowest power, proven security, and exceptional reliability. The board is also small form-factor PCIe-compliant, which allows quick prototyping and evaluation using any desktop PC or laptop with a PCIe slot.

The kit has the following functionalities:

  • Develop and test PCI Express Gen2 x1 lane designs
  • Test signal quality of the FPGA transceiver using the full-duplex SerDes SMA pairs
  • Measure the low power consumption of the IGLOO2 FPGA
  • Create quickly a working PCIe link with the included PCIe Control Plane Demo
