Linux SmartFusion Evaluation Kit + FlashPro4

This product bundles the Linux SmartFusion Evaluation Kit with a Microsemi's FlashPro4 hardware programmer enabling developers to upgrade SmartFusion configuration and FPGA designs over JTAG. More specifically, this product option includes the following components:

  • 1 Emcraft Systems' A2F-LNX-EVB board;
  • 1 MicroSemi's FlashPro4 device;
  • Linux Board Support Package (BSP) for the Emcraft A2F-LNX-EVB board.

Please note that customers who do not have the FlashPro device are able to upgrade the FPGA directly from Linux, so the FlashPro tool is being offered as a convenience to those customers wishing to additionally use the Microsemi FlashPro tools.
