IGLOO nano Starter Kit Board with LCPS The IGLOO nano Starter Kit provides a simple board with Actel's IGLOO nano AGLN250 device in the VQG100 package, Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE), and a low-cost programming stick (LCPS) for in-system programming. The IGLOO nano Starter Kit is fully RoHS-compliant and enables you to quickly evaluate Actel's IGLOO family and prototype your design. The following key functions are supported:

  • Detailed current monitoring capabilities of the industry's lowest power FPGAs
  • Development with Actel's Flash*Freeze technology
  • Easy experimentation with ISP, device serialization, and FlashLock on-chip system security
  • USB-to-UART interface for HyperTerminal on PC connected to board
  • On-board voltage regulation, enabling independent I/O bank voltages

Since IGLOO nano devices are footprint-compatible with ProASIC3 nano devices, this kit can also be used to prototype designs for ProASIC3 nano, as well as the low-power leader of IGLOO nano.
