Hi Rosanah,
Your question is not very clear. Could you please clarify?
The two FPGA EVMs do not need to communicate with each other.
The ADC and DAC boards would plug into their respective FPGA boards, and you would configure the JESD204B link between the FPGA and its respective FMC board. You would then connect the ADC to DAC using an RF cable.
If you wanted to change the characteristics of the RF transmit signal, then you would simply communicate from your PC to the DAC board, and likewise, if you wanted to change the characteristics of the RF receive signal processing, then you would simply communicate from your PC to the ADC board.
There is no way for the two boards to communicate directly.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I found the Arria 5 Soc Dev Kit (
http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-arria-v-soc.html) which has 2 FMC connectors and Altera claims that their Arria 5 product line include the JESD204B IP. Do you think I could use this to simultaneously use the DAC and ADC (ADC12J4000EVM using JESD204B over FMC and DAC38J84EVM using JESD204B over FMC from TI)? My setup will be a loop with DAC +PA under test+ADC+FPGA. The FPGA will be generating test signals to the DAC, reading samples in from the ADC, comparing what was received to what was sent and perform some mathematical functions and preprocessing to what is sent.
Thanks!
