The SoM is based on Microchip's Polarfire system-on-chip FPGA family, the 64-bit RISC-V quad-core processor subsystem with low-power FPGA technology. It is suitable for applications such as safety-critical systems and artificial intelligence where a high-performance, secure and power-efficient computing architecture needs to be combined with an FPGA. The wide range includes applications such as embedded vision, industrial automation with robotics, telecommunications and industrial Internet of Things (IIOT).

For reliable operation, the Polarfire RISC-V quad-core SoC also has a core for control and monitoring tasks. The E51 monitor core runs a range of services with Hart Software Services, providing many options for configuration and ensuring reliability in operation. Advanced real-time or security requirements for an embedded system can be implemented. Complementing the SoM, Aries Embedded offers the M100PFSEVP evaluation board for an easy and fast project start into FPGA SoC design and prototyping.
