Description

BeagleV-Fire SBC with RISC-V and FPGA

BeagleV-Fire is a revolutionary single-board computer (SBC) powered by the Microchip’s PolarFire MPFS025T 5x core RISC-V System on Chip (SoC) with FPGA fabric.

BeagleV-Fire opens up new horizons for developers, tinkerers, and the open-source community to explore the vast potential of RISC-V architecture and FPGA technology. It has the same P8 & P9 cape header pins as BeagleBone Black allowing you to stack your favorite BeagleBone cape on top to expand it’s capability.

Built around the powerful and energy-efficient RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) along with its versatile FPGA fabric, BeagleV-Fire SBC offers unparalleled opportunities for developers, hobbyists, and researchers to explore and experiment with RISC-V technology.
