Mouser Supplies Microchip Hello FPGA Kit
Targeted at users with small to medium-sized FPGA knowledge
AI and digital signal processing prototyping support


Mouser Electronics announced on the 23rd that it is supplying Microchip's 'Hello FPGA Kit'.

The Hello FPGA Kit is an entry-level platform aimed at end users with small to medium-sized FPGA knowledge. It supports the prototyping of AI and digital signal processing and includes a power monitor GUI that allows developers to measure the power consumption of FPGA cores.

The kit consists of an FPGA mainboard, a camera sensor board, an LCD board, and a USB cable.

The FPGA mainboard is based on the Microsemi SmartFusion® 2 SoC FPGA, combined with the Microchip PIC32MX7 MCU including the instruction cache and ETM (Embedded Trace Macrocell) and Arduino and MikroElektronika mikroBUS connectors.

The Hello FPGA Kit, suitable for developing a wide range of solutions for communications, industrial, aviation, medical, and defense applications, can be used as a standalone device or as an expansion device for existing Microchip kits via PICkit™ headers.
