Chpater1 Introduction
The F2G board is designed to convert a FPGA Mezzanine Card(FMC) or FPGA Mezzanine Card Plus(FMC+) interface to four 2x20pin expansion prototype(GPIO) connectors, which are compatible with the expansion headers of the Terasic DE-Series board(Such as DE2-115/DE10-Standard). Users can connect up to four GPIO connectors onto a FMC-interfaced host board via a F2G board.

1-2 Features
Figure 1-2 shows the photo of a F2G board. The important functions of the F2G are listed below:
- FMC High-Pin Count Interface.
- IO standard is dependent on FMC Voltage of the Mother board.
- Four 2x20 GPIO Headers.
- 2x6 TMD Header.
- SMA Clock Input.
- Button x2.
- SWtich x2.
- LED x2.
1-3 Layout and Components
This section presents the features and design characteristics of the board. A photograph of the board is shown in Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4 It depicts the layout of the board and indicates the location of the connectors and key components.
1-4 Block Diagram
Figure 1-5 gives the block diagram of the board. According to the Vita 57 specification, the FMC connector can be divided into two specifications: high pin count and low pin count. Therefore, in the figure, we draw the pins of the FMC into 3 groups such as LA, HA and HB. Pins with a L prefix (LA) shall have connector contacts populated in the low-pin and high-pin count connectors Pins with a H prefix (HA and HB) shall have connector contacts populated only in the high-pin count connector. Allow users to understand their FPGA motherboard can use those F2G board interfaces
