Pigeon Point Systems is offering AdvancedTCA (ATCA) Board Management Reference (BMR) starter kits for Actel’s Fusion mixed-signal FPGAs.

These comprehensive development platforms for ATCA hardware platform management use the Actel Fusion mixed-signal FPGA, an embedded 32-bit ARM Cortex-M1 processor and Pigeon Point FPGA designs, board schematics and firmware.

The kits accelerate the development of ATCA board and Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC) carrier board hardware platform management controllers based on the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) architecture and the PICMG ATCA and AdvancedMC specifications. 

Actel's Fusion mixed-signal flash FPGAs incorporate analog functions, embedded flash memory, an embedded soft ARM Cortex-M1 processor and flexible FPGA fabric in a single chip.

In addition, Fusion FPGAs integrate system management functions, such as voltage and temperature monitoring, and offer programmable flexibility, providing an implementation that reduces part count, board area and overall system cost, making it a compelling alternative to multiple discrete devices. 

The Board Management Reference Starter Kits are available from Pigeon Point Systems via pigeonpoint.com
