The FMC PCIe Carrier is the first module of the FMC Standard Kit. The FMC Standard Kit aims at providing low cost modular hardware based on the FMC standard (ANSI/VITA 57). VITA 57 defines a flexible interface between an FPGA mounted on a carrier and an IO mezzanine. Carriers can be based on AMC, cPCI, VME or PCIe and can contain from 1 up to 3 mezzanines in a 6U form factor. The carriers will also accept long non standard FMCs.
