FMC Connector
The FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC) interface provides a mechanism to extend the
peripheral-set of an FPGA host board by means of add-on daughter cards, which can
address today’s high-speed signaling requirements as well as low-speed device
interface support. The FMC interfaces support JTAG, clock outputs and inputs,
high-speed serial I/O (transceivers), and single-ended or differential signaling.
There is one FMC connector on the Apollo S10 board, it is a High Pin Count (HPC) size
of connector, The HPC connector on Apollo S10 board can provides 160 user-define,
single-ended signals (Not include clock, I2C and some control signals) and 10 serial
is the FPGA I/O connected to the FMC connector on the
Apollo S10 board.
Below we will introduce according to the individual functions of FMC connector.
