Actel's SmartFusion Evaluation Kit offers a simple, low-cost way to try the world's only FPGA with hard ARM Cortex-M3 and programmable analog. The device contains on-chip flash and on-chip SRAM memory, as well as additional SPI flash memory. The board can communicate via Ethernet and HyperTerminal. The board also contains LEDs, switches, OLED and various voltage, current, and temperature monitoring functions for analog experimentation on the board.
The kit is supported by Libero Integrated Design Environment (IDE), Actel's design software that includes SoftConsole Eclipse-based GNU software IDE. You can also use a free evaluation version or full licensed version of either Keil or IAR Systems compilers. The quickstart card and the user's guide will walk you through the options for software, downloads, and licensing.
