PicoSky™ Development Board IGLOO2/ SmartFusion2 is a newcomer to the SkyLabs product portfolio. It is based on Microsemi IGLOO2 or SmartFusion2 FPGA which delivers more resources in low density devices, with the lowest power consumption, proven security and exceptional reliability. The board has been designed in a way to fully support evaluation of PicoSkyFT™ soft core processor and development of a complete ecosystem around it. The SmartFusion2 version adds a high performance ARM Cortex-M3 processor that can deliver up to 1.25 DMIPS / MHz.
