The LPTM21L Evaluation Board is a versatile hardware platform for evaluating and designing with Platform Manager 2 devices (specifically with the LPTM21L100-Ball caBGA package). You can implement and debug your hardware management functions (power, thermal, and control plane management) and test them out with this board.
Boards Application - The board can function as either a Platform Manager 2 central controller (CC) or a Platform Manager 2 hardware expander (HE).
- The board as central controller (CC) will manage up to three hardware expanders (HE) using either ASC Breakout Boards that feature the L-ASC10 device, or additional LPTM21L Evaluation Boards (or a combination, both are available separately).
- The board as a hardware expander (HE) can be managed by any of the following; another LPTM21L Evaluation Board, the ASC Bridge Board (with the MachXO3-9400 Development Board or the ECP5 Versa Development Board), or the Platform Manager 2 Development Kit.
Programming and Power - The LPTM21L device on the board may be programmed using Lattice Diamond Programmer via an included USB Cable. Power for the board can also be provided from the included USB Cable.
