Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- If I insert the HSMC cards(connectors) that is attached here in the HSMC slot the loopback operation should work properly right??? --- Quote End --- Yes, they will implement a loopback of the TX-to-RX signals. --- Quote Start --- Apart from assigning the TXDATA & RXDATA pin locations that are available on the HSMC connectors any other signals should be assigned while doing pin assignment.
