Dear WeiChuan,

Thanks for your answer.
Yes I am concerned about the transmission speed and the cable length which exceeds 5m.

Hi,

If you are concerned about the transmission speed and cable length. Technically, you can connect FPGA's anyway you want such as SPI, I2C, PCI, PCI Express, LVDS, DDR, etc.
For a slow-speed connection, you can use UART using two data lines + GND only to communicate between FPGAs.
If you need high speed, then you can use LVDS or some other transceivers with standard or custom protocol, provided the board and the FPGA supports it.

Anyway, ak6dn provides a good suggestion as well where you can take into reference/consideration
