MPS - Microcontroller Prototyping System

Microcontroller Prototyping System

Get a Quote The Keil MPS is the first system offering total flexibility to prototype your custom Cortex-M processor-based design. No other platform allows unrestricted access to the latest Cortex-M processors in FPGA.

The MPS is designed for hardware and software development of ASIC/SoC devices based on Cortex-M processors. It enables software to be developed before device silicon is available, and allows comparison of the Cortex-M processors in order to choose the one most suitable for the intended price and performance of your device.

Features

  • Cortex-M0, Cortex-M1, Cortex-M3, or Cortex-M4 processor operating at up to 50MHz in FPGA
  • Altera Stratix III EP3SL50 enables users to incorporate third-party peripherals and IP
  • 8MB zero wait state SSRAM
  • 64MB NOR Flash for software and non-volatile storage
  • Physical interfaces for Ethernet, CAN, Flexray, and LIN
  • High Speed USB v2.0
  • Example IP blocks and system configurations
  • Peripheral expansion using a range of childboards
