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.

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,
rudi

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.

Our company, Epiq Solutions, will be releasing a broadband RF tuner
card with integrated A/D converters in an FMC form-factor this
summer.  The RF tuner covers 300 MHz to 4 GHz, supports RF channel
bandwidths up to 50 MHz, and will include dual 105 MSPS A/D
converters.  It is targeted at receiving and processing a variety of
current and future radio waveforms, including 2G, 3G, and 4G cellular
waveforms.

More details can be found here:
http://www.epiq-solutions.com/product_detail.php?line=Bitshark&product=Bitshark%20FMC

We'll be selling directly from our website when the production units
are ready this summer.

Ed,

I just board a ML605 kit and is shopping FMC daughter board. I
understand that Xilinx worked with Analog Device on a multi-mode radio
demo platform. Analog Devices provided a RF board called Mixed Signal
Digital Pre-Distortion (MSDPD) board. I wonder if that board is
available for purchase. I got the information from:

This FMC board was developed by Analog Devices and while I had some
involvement in the initial design phase I'm not sure what the go-to-
market strategy was for the board.  I would suggest that you use the
"Contact Wireless" team link on this page to get further information
on availability.

Ed,

just an update ...

I ordered the above two boards through Avnet on April 1st.

As of today (April 12th), they are still listed as on "back order"
with 2 & 8 week lead times.

Is there an alternative way to buy these boards ? We are an
alliance partner if makes any difference ...

Thanks,
