SE300 multi-FPGA Solution

Please note the design of this product is complete including the BSP. The product will need to be assembled before delivery.

SE300 is a multi purpose embedded multi-FPGA solution with flexible clocking and 4 FMC+ interfaces. It can be a scalable  MIMO solution populated with ADC and DAC FMC+ modules like Sundance DSP FMCP-ADC3p0 and FMCP-DAC12p0. It has the capability of capturing/processing data over long distances using the Firefly(c) from Samtec.

SE300 has a PolarFire SoC MPFS460T-FCG1152 as the central unit and 4 Polarfire FPGAs (MPF500T-FCG1152) as FMC+ controllers. Also, there is a flexible clock tree with JESD204B capable of inter-chip synchronization, which allows the creation of coherent systems with 4 FMC+ mezzanine cards.

PolarFire MPSOC  is an  FPGA + RISC-V processor. PolarFire SOC has a 5-core RISC-V processor (PS part) and programmable Logic (PL) resources.

The board offers the following main interfaces:

  • SODIMM 260 pin connector, with a 32-bit interface for the PS part;
  • SODIMM 260 pin connector, with a 64-bit interface for the PL part;
  • 32MB SPI Serial FLASH for storing boot image;
  • 8GByte of eMMC storage for various purposes;
  • Two RJ45 with 100/1000BASE-T interfaces;
  • USB 2.0 HOST interface, for user purposes;
  • Two SFP+ connectors;
  • Full or Half-size mPCIe connector with PCIe x1 interface;
  • SATA connector, with SATA 3.0 interface;
  • 16 XCVRs routed to slave units, 4 XCVR each;
  • Star topology low-speed LVDS connections to each unit, 4 pairs to each unit*;
  • User LEDs;
