VXS DSP FMC carrier
The VXS DSP FMC Carrier is an FMC carrier that can hold two FMC cards. The FMC mezzanine slot uses a high-pin count connector (as opposed to the OHR developments Simple PCIe FMC carrier, FMC PCIe Carrier (PFC) and the VME FMC carrier.
This board is optimised for the functionality required by RF applications and will be usable with most of the FMC cards designed within the OHR project (e.g. ADC cards, Fine Delay).
Other FMC projects and the FMC standard are described in FMC Projects.

04-09-2012 VXS-DSP-FMC Carrier V2
A second version of the VXS-DSP-FMC Carrier was launched after a series of tests with the V1.
Main issues addressed by this new release are:
- DSP ICE JTAG connector pattern mirror image correction
- Change of FMC FPGA type from XC5VLX110T-1FFG1136C to XC5VSX95T-1FFG1136C to get 10x more DSP resources for FMC IP cores
- Add another XCF32PFS48C prom to support the new FPGA type
- Bug fixes in power connections
- Change power inductor L8 for one with a 5A rating.
- Bug fixes in JTAG chain
- Front panel now of type ELMA 26D604-6 (with easy insertion / extraction handles)
- Bug fix polarity reversal of GTP TX X0Y4_TX0 and X0Y6_TX0
- Bug fix I2C pull-up resistors of buses Main2F0 and Main2F2 must be powered from P2V5
06-08-2013 VXS-DSP-FMC Carrier V3
A third version of the VXS-DSP-FMC Carrier was launched after a series of tests with the V2. The pre-series of V2 prototype boards already achieved full functionality but required minor hardware tweaks to be functional.
February 2014 First Series Production
A series production of 25 VXS-DSP-FMC Carrier modules intended for the
PSB Booster and for MedAustron was being received and tested.
Of these modules 5 had issues, the rest is operational.
