The BeagleV®-Fire board from BeagleBoard.org features Microchip’s PolarFire® SoCs, harnessing its RISC-V and FPGA technology, creating a powerful platform for innovation. As part of Microchip’s Mi-V ecosystem, it benefits from a rich set of tools and resources that accelerate development. With robust support for Linux and Zephyr, the BeagleV-Fire is perfect for embedded development, AI and IoT solutions.
Introduction
The BeagleV-Fire is a powerful and affordable development board featuring the Microchip PolarFire MPFS025T SoC, designed to bring high-performance computing and FPGA capabilities together in a single platform. This SoC integrates a RISC-V-based Microprocessor Subsystem (MSS) with Quad-application cores and monitor core, capable of running Linux alongside the PolarFire FPGA fabric. This allows developers to efficiently partition their designs between software and hardware acceleration.
With the BeagleV-Fire, users can leverage our Libero® SoC Design Suite for rapid RTL-based FPGA design, supporting a wide range of applications such as video processing, signal processing, networking and communications. Additionally, our SoftConsole IDE provides a streamlined environment for C/C++ application development, making it easier to target both FPGA and SoC-based projects.
This open-source development board is ideal for embedded Linux engineers, FPGA developers and hardware enthusiasts looking to explore the possibilities of RISC-V architecture combined with FPGA acceleration.
