Design Features

The Libero designs include the following features:

  • A soft RISC-V processor
  • A RISC-V debug block allowing on-target debug using SoftConsole
  • The operating frequency of the design is 50MHz
  • Target memory is RAM
  • User peripherals (GPIO, Timers, UART)

Target Hardware

Details of the Future Avalanche Board and it's features can be found:

  • AVMPF300TS-01 (MPF300) here.

FlashPro Express

The FlashPro_Express_Projects folder contains the pre-generated programming files, which can be downloaded directly to the target board using FlashPro Express.

Design Tools

The following design tools are required.

Libero SoC v12.4

Libero SoC is Microsemi's FPGA design software. It is available from here.

FlashPro Express

FlashPro Express is Microsemi's Programming and debug tool. It is included in the Libero SoC software and is also available as a standalone application found here. Please note, that if Libero SoC is already on your system, you do not need the standalone version.

SoftConsole

SoftConsole is Microsemi’s free software development environment facilitating the rapid development of bare-metal and RTOS based C/C++ software for Microsemi CPU and SoC based FPGAs. It provides development and debug support for all Microsemi SoC FPGAs and 32-bit soft IP CPUs. SoftConsole can be downloaded here.

SoftConsole Projects

A set of RISC-V example software projects are also available for these designs from the SoftConsole page.
