Introduction to PolarFire® SoC (February 2026)
Garo Janir guides you through the architecture, configuration, and development workflows of PolarFire® SoC, enabling you to address real-time, power-efficient, and secure edge computing applications.
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of the PolarFire® SoC architecture, focusing on its unique combination of FPGA fabric and a hardened RISC-V-based microprocessor subsystem. You will gain a deep understanding of how PolarFire SoC addresses the challenges of edge computing, including power efficiency, security, and real-time processing. The course covers the architectural differences between PolarFire FPGAs and SoCs, the integration of user crypto functionality, and the flexibility of the Microprocessor Subsystem (MSS). Through detailed explanations, you will learn about symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing, memory subsystem configuration, cache coherency, and the deterministic real-time capabilities of the platform. The training also delves into the device’s power advantages, packaging options, and the extensive ecosystem supporting development, including tools, reference designs, and software flows. Practical modules guide you through the MSS Configurator, simulation, and hands-on software development, ensuring you are equipped to design, debug, and deploy applications on PolarFire SoC platforms. Whether you are new to the architecture or seeking to optimize your designs, this course offers the technical depth and practical guidance needed to leverage the full potential of PolarFire SoC.
