Thank you Fred for your comments on the TI serialised-LVDS and high-speed connectors. I've also been looking at Linear Technology serial LVDS ADCS.
I've received my new Parallella (embedded) board today, very excited about that. I've ordered some ADC evaluation boards as well so looking forward to trying to get all of this to work together.
Another questiuon I have is how easy would it be to interface the parallella board to a mini-itx board? I've come across that article "My Name is Brian and I Build Supercomputers in My Spare Time", I'm sure you've read it too, where he mentions "since they (i.e. parallella boards) have relatively limited storage and memory, I added two Intel NUCs. Each NUC has 1x Intel i3, 16GB RAM, 120GB SSD". For my data acqusition application I would like to continuously stream data from the ADCs to the FPGA and from theere to host memory and to a disk array (e.g. RAID0). I've been looking at a Kontron mini-itx board (http://www.kontron.com/products/boards- ... cification). Do you reckon it would be possible to interface the parallela to the mini-itx board (Brian has done this with his application and the NUCs but don't know how he has done it) and if so how?
Thank you in advance Fred.
Will.
