Aldec's TySOM-M Series of emulation boards targets low power and high security applications with five RISC-V cores

www.eenewseurope.com, Jul. 07, 2021 – 

Design emulation specialist Aldec has launched its first board based around Microchip's low power PolarFire FPGA system on chip with five 64bit RISC-V processors.

The TySOM-M-MPFS250 is the first in a planned series with two connections to peripheral cards, initially using Microchip's MPFS250T-FCG1152 and moving to larger devices when they become available.

Aldec's current boards use the Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ and Zynq-7000 FPGA SoCs with ARM cores.

The MPFS250T on the board has 254K of flash-based non-volatile FPGA logic elements to emulate user designs alongside five 64bit RISC-V cores. The cores are based around a five stage pipeline with a coherent memory structure and deterministic level two cache to support real time operation. Four of the cores can run the Linux operating system or real time software while the fifth is used for security and monitoring.
