M2GL-EVAL-KIT

M2GL-EVAL-KIT is an IGLOO2 evaluation kit that makes it easier to develop embedded applications that involve motor control, system management, industrial automation and high-speed serial I/O applications. The kit offers best-in-class feature integration, coupled with the lowest power, exceptional reliability, and proven security. The IGLOO2 evaluation kit provides a platform to develop transceiver I/O-based FPGA designs to build PCI Express and Gigabit Ethernet-based systems. The board is also small form-factor PCIe compliant which will allow quick prototyping an evaluation using any desktop PC or laptop with a PCIe slot. The board includes an RJ45 interface to 10/100/1000 Ethernet, 512Mb of LPDDR, 64Mb SPI flash, USB-UART connections as well as I2C, SPI and GPIO headers. The kit includes a 12V power supply but can also be powered via the PCIe edge connector. A FlashPro4 JTAG programmer is also included for programming and debugging.

• Develop and test PCI Express Gen2 x1 lane designs
