The PolarFire SoC architecture includes reliability and security features such as Single Error Correction and Double Error Detection (SEC-DED) on all memories, physical memory protection, a Differential Power Analysis (DPA) safe crypto core, defence-grade secure boot and 128Kb Flash boot Memory.
 
Evaluation and design with PolarFire SoC are supported by the antmicro Renode™ system modelling platform, which is now integrated with Microchip’s SoftConsole Integrated Design Environment (IDE) for embedded designs targeting PolarFire SoCs. A PolarFire SoC development kit is also available now, consisting of the PolarFire FPGA-enabled HiFive Unleashed Expansion Board and SiFive’s HiFive Unleashed Development Board with its RISC-V microprocessor subsystem.
 
As part of today’s announcement, Microchip is launching a new Mi-V Embedded Experts Program, a worldwide partner network to assist customers in hardware/software designs for PolarFire SoC. The addition of this programme ensures support throughout the entire lifecycle of customer products and helps to jump-start designs and shorten time to market. Members also get access to direct technical support and early access to development platforms and silicon.
