The Combo Mezzanine board pairs with a PCI / PCIe, EDT PCIe8 LX main board. The board pair supports the processing of large amounts of telecom serial or ECL data for complex, user-defined applications. The high-speed 16-channel DMA controller allows flexible access to host memory. The main board supplies the DMA, memory, and programmable FPGA resources (see ordering options below); EDT provides FPGA configuration files.
