FMC-LPC connection

Hi, I'm an unexperienced Zedboard user. I want to connect to the FMC-LPC connector, and route those signals to another board. How can I do it? Possibly using components that I can solder by hand. Thank you.

Hi Luca,
It seems you have gotten a response over at digilent https://forum.digilentinc.com/topic/3375-zedboard-fmc-lpc-connection/#comment-12369
It depends on how you are planning on communicating with the other board. Are you going from FMC to FMC, or are you trying FMC to ethernet communcation. It really depends.

Hi Josh,
I need to use 45 I/O, so I thought to use the FMC connector that has 68 I/O. I simply need to route these signal to another board, somehow, and then route them individually.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hello Lucabe,
Here is a list of FMC Cards that Xilinx offers that may suit your application. Make sure to use a LPC FMC Module.

Hi Josh,
thanks for the tip, but I don't find a board that suits me. Do you think is too crazy to design my own board?
Cheers,

Hello Lucabe,
Unless you have prior experience in designing your own boards, I would suggest that you do not. The easiest way would be to find a proven board that works for what you are trying to do.
