    vinodpa,

    Is this the card you are referencing?

    http://www.em.avnet.com/en-us/design/drc/Pages/ISM-Networking-FMC-Module.aspx

    If so, then YES!  There are really just two things to note with add-on cards:

    1. Must be FMC compliant (to ensure this, purchase Avnet and/or Xilinx designed and sold FMC add-on cards)

    2. Must be LPC (Low Pin Count).  There are HPC (High Pin Count) FMC add-on cards as well - these may not work on the Zedboard.

    Hope that helps!

    Yes, theoretically, the ISMNET FMC module is compatible with ZedBoard.  I have not tested this yet with an actual design, but an examination of the schematics of both boards does not indicate any incompatibility issues.

    The FMC (FPGA Mezzanene Card) is a ANSI/VITA standard put together by a consortium attended largly by Xilinx engineers.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMC_%E2%80%93_FPGA_Mezzanine_Card

    If a Xilinx and/or Avnet designed card says it is FMC compatible, it will work with any Xilinx development kit that has the same pin-count FMC connector on it.

    It is, however, *always* a good idea to review schematics to guarantee Interoperability.

    Thank you all.

    I have Avnet ISMNET (https://www.em.avnet.com/en-us/design/drc/Pages/ISM-Networking-FMC-Module.aspx )board for my design. I hope that I can live this card for Zynq based design also.
