Actel has introduced new low-cost starter kits for the company’s low-power IGLOO nano FPGAs.
The kits can be used to prototype designs targeted at IGLOO nano FPGAs or lower cost ProASIC3 nano FPGAs in all logic densities. IGLOO nano and ProASIC3 nano devices are footprint compatible between families, enabling flexibility in device selection.
The starter kit includes a development board featuring an IGLOO AGLN250V2-ZVQG100 device, a programming stick, user’s guide, tutorial and design examples. Intended for use with Actel’s Libero development tools, the kit offers simple connections to LEDs and switches to implement a sample design with all I/Os available for connection to external systems or applications. The board is programmed via a USB connection, through the programming stick attached to the board.
The IGLOO nano board contains a separate USB connection to a UART for implementing a hyper terminal connection to a personal computer, allowing data to flow to and from the computer. This feature enables sophisticated data control of a programmed application running on the IGLOO nano device.
