14 years ago --- Quote Start --- My boss said that we have NIC with SFP+ connector for our server. So I assume that we have already had this by now. --- Quote End --- But you also said your boss thought it would only work under Windows Server 2008. If that is the case, then just buy a new NIC that is compatible with the OS that is also compatible with Quartus. --- Quote Start --- My next wonder is how I can transfer data from the test PC to board in terms of implementation? if there is an existing tool for this or I need to create my own software/design? --- Quote End --- Its called network or sockets programming. --- Quote Start --- I am not sure if I understood your point here. --- Quote End --- The point was that you purchased a really expensive board before figuring out what you really want to do, and now you find that you have to purchase other really expensive adapters to add the missing functionality. The lesson to take from this is; design first, and then buy. Cheers, Dave
