Ensemble DevKit Gen 2 | Alif Semiconductor

Ensemble DevKit

Get started with the Ensemble DevKit

The Ensemble DevKit is a cost-effective, single-board solution that brings out all signals on the device to easily accessible pins for power and performance profiling, prototyping, and more. It features the superset E7 device in the Ensemble lineup, allowing you to evaluate all aspects of the device’s functionality.
