PolarFire-SoC
I am Looking to Learn More about the PolarFire on the BeagleV-Fire and its FPGA #402

Hello, So, in conjunction of this board being available from beagleboard.org, I want to learn about VHDL involved programming for the PolarFire SoCs. Has Microchip persons put forth any reading materials dedicated to the specific chips and hopefully surrounding the MPFS025T from Microchip. Seth P.S. Although this may sound like an odd request, I am tracking down and researching avenues of reading materials for this specific SoC and VHDL in combination. |

Hi @silver2row I don't think we have much on writing VHDL (there are a lot of guides on youtube, udemy etc) which would generically apply to Microchip FPGAs. But maybe this will be of use, its the FPGA fabric user guide, you can find a copy here and it details the different resources, configurations and features available in the FPGA :) In terms of the SoC the TRM (technical reference manual) may be of use, its available here. I think you want to do some hardware + software codesign from reading your message, have you had a look at our high level synthesis (HLS) tool? Its called SmartHLS :) |

Hello @hughbreslin ...Seth here. I do not think I looked over the SmartHLS tool yet. I have the resources in .pdf format but was wondering mostly about if people made any books dedicated to producing builds for the particular SoC in question (MPFS025T). For instance, some people along the way built some books from ARM that still get a look through from me at times. Anyway, they were dedicated to particular ARM chips and went into detail on how to build around it with the board. I understand that beagleboard.org uses this specific chip on one of their boards. That SoC is what I wanted to learn about currently because of it being on their board. Odd or selfish on my part, maybe. I will just look to them in the meantime for updates and development while learning about the PolarFire SoC in question. Seth P.S. I really was not planning on building around the PolarFire SoC in my own design. I probably would falter at some point...lack of throughput on my part mostly. Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. |
