1.5 Care and Maintenance
•Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals
that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, allow it to dry completely.
•Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can
be damaged.
•Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
•Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture
can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
•Do not attempt to open the device.
•Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine
mechanics.
•Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
•Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
•Unauthorized modifications or attachments could damage the device and may violate regulations gov-
erning radio devices.

OVERVIEW
2.1 M100PF
The M100PF is based on the PolarFire FPGA family by Microchip. The SoM targets demanding industrial
and medical applications and offers the full flexibility of the populated FPGAs. The populated FPGAs
deliver the industry’s lowest power at mid-range densities with exceptional security and reliability. The
FPGA SoM for Embedded Applications spans from 100K logic elements (LEs) to 300K LEs, features 12.7G
transceivers and offers up to 50% lower power than competing mid-range FPGAs.
