Does anybody else, besides xilinx, make FMC boards for ml605 & sp605 ?

HW-FMC-XM105-G FMC XM105 DEBUG CARD
HW-FMC-XM104-G FMC CONNECTIVITY MEZZANINE CARD

Buying Xilinx products now means going through Avnet, which is a
nightmare and HUGE lead times ...

Thanks,
rudi

While the XM104 is listed with a 8 week lead time on the Avnet site, I
know that we have these available in inventory and they will ship
promptly after the order is placed. The XM105 is listed with a 2 week
lead time.

There are a number of other companies releasing FMC cards, just be
sure that the cards support a VADJ of 2.5V and there shouldn't be a
problem.

4DSP recently announced a FMC family

Curtiss-Wright also has a number of boards.

And Xilinx has a number of other boards in pipeline to be released
next quarter.

Thanks Ed !

I was hoping to find an alternative distributor for those boards,
but I guess I have to deal with Avnet :(

Thanks,

Hi,

so I want ahead and placed the order with Avnet, and they are telling
both boards
are on back order. No shipping date is given ...

See, that's why I hate doing business with Avnet ! Now that they are
sole distributor,
I suspect things will get even worth ...

Cheers,
rudi

We are looking at doing a small number of products for the FMC
standard. We have reservations that this standard is expensive and
inflexible use of FPGA I/O. The first module we are doing is an
adaptor module to go from FMC to our own DIL module standard. Several
of our standard module range to be used together in a FMC socket
giving the user more options than a normal "fixed function" FMC card.
You can see an example of our DIL Headers on our Spartan-6 based
Drigmorn3 http://www.enterpoint.co.uk/drigmorn/drigmorn3.html.
