NEED!! Boad with populated FMC (HPC) connector on PCIe using a single FPGA.

I am looking for a PCIe format dev board with a single FPGA which has a fully (or mostly) populated FMC HPC connector.

Anyone with any suggestions for this would be thanked enormously!

    Thanks Dave.

    I've looked at that board.

    I need a single FPGA from the root PCIe to the FMC.

    Also the FMC isn't populated well. I need at least 65 signal pairs, which is way more than the FMC LPC pinout.

    Would prefer the whole HPC pinout spec.

    Bittware have several boards with FMC connectors. They have both PCIe style and industrial form-factor boards.

    Cheers,

    I am searching as Ray a development board with a populated FMC (HPC).

    As Ray I saw ARRIA V is not matching all pins we need...

    Is there any kind of development kit with FMC (HPC) and also HSMC (I need it to connect another daughter board)?

    Thanks a lot.

    Best regards

    thanks Dave for your answer.

    FMC port in stratix V is ok.

    Arria V GT development board is better for us because we need 2 hsmc connection.

    The problem is that in the FMC connector we have only LVDS transmitter and we would need also LVDS receiver to interface this ADC board (http://www.ti.com/tool/adc12d1800rfrb)

    Is it possible to use CMOS standard to use these transmitters as receivers?

    Is possible to acquire LVDS signals coming from ADC board with CMOS single ended standard?

    Thanks for your assistance.

    Best regards
