The Simple PCIe FMC Carrier (SPEC) is an FMC carrier that can hold one FMC card and an SFP connector. On the PCIe side it has a 4-lane interface, while the FMC mezzanine slot uses a low-pin count connector. This board is optimised for cost and is usable with most of the FMC cards designed within the OHR project (e.g. ADC cards, Fine Delay). The board is commercially available. This Yocto/OpenEmbedded layer provides support for both the SPEC Software and Getting Started projects, from gateware bitstreams, user-space tools, dynamic libraries and kernel modules. It can be used with both x86 and x86-64 target machines featuring one or more SPEC boards.
