FMC SpaceWire/SpaceFibre Board

The FMC-SpaceWire/SpaceFibre board is an FPGA Mezzanine Card which is designed to extend the capabilities of an FPGA development board by adding support for SpaceWire and SpaceFibre interfaces. The board has four SpaceWire ports and two SpaceFibre ports, each with accompanying programmable status LEDs.

The board is a partially populated High Pin Count (HPC) mezzanine card which implements the ANSI VITA 57.1 standard. The interfaces provided by the board are listed below.

• 16 LVDS differential pairs used for SpaceWire
• 2 Gigabit Transceiver differential pairs used for SpaceFibre
• 20 single ended signals for GPIO or test purposes
• 2 Gigabit Transceiver differential clocks as LVDS clock inputs to the carrier board

The FMC board can be configured to work with a number of FPGA development kits including:

• Microsemi RTG4 Development Kit – HPC1 and HPC2
• SmartFusion2 Adv Dev Kit – HPC and LPC
• PolarFire MPF300 Evaluation Kit – HPC
• Xilinx Spartan-7 SP701 evaluation kit
• Xilinx Kintex-7, Virtex-7 and Zynq development boards including but not exclusive to the KC705, VC707/VC709 and ZC702 evaluation kits
• Xilinx Ultrascale, Ultrascale+ and Zynq Ultrascale+ development cards including but not exclusive to KCU105, VCU118 and ZCU102
