Supported carriers

The AD-FMCOMMS11-EBZ, is, by definition a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC); that means it needs a carrier to plug into.

The carriers we support are:

FPGA board	AD-FMCOMMS11-EBZ
ZC706	FMC HPC

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
ZC706	Yes	Yes	—

Hardware setup

On the ZC706, the AD-FMCOMMS11-EBZ board connects to the FMC HPC connector. The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet (Linux) and HDMI (if available) connections. A typical setup is shown below.
