Hi Colm, We discussed this and it appears that only two of the ADC's and DAC's will be routed to connectors, hence the 2x2. Dan has already asked Xilinx whether there is any scope to bring additional channels out to headers or other low cost connectors. We await an answer. Regards, Francois

Hi Dan, Thanks for the info. Do you happen to know what the '2x2' signifies in the name RF SoC 2x2? I was thinking 2 DACs and 2 ADCs, but you mentioned that it will have the XCZU28DR chip which hosts 8 ADCS and 8 DACs. Looking forward to learning more about this board! Thanks, Colm On Wed, 10

hi dave, for more ethernet I/O from xilinx's RFSOC 2x2 board, you might be able plug in this $80 dual SFP+ SYZYGY board: https://opalkelly.com/products/szg-dualsfp/ but i don't know if xilinx connected the appropriate syzygy pins to FPGA high speed serdes lines. dan On Wed, Feb 10, 2021 at

hi dave, i think the $1900 two input RFSOC 2x2 board only has 1 Gbe. if you need higher I/O rates, they have a syzygy parallel I/O connector: >>> The GEM is connected to the ARM PS of the RFSOC >>> The Syzygy interface is the primary PL offload connector, Dan >>> 28 single-ended signals

The RFSoC 2x2 sounds intriguing. It will be interesting to see all its capabilities (e.g. will it have high speed networking or other digital I/O?). I enjoyed the web site's positive spin on the conference's virtual nature: "Breakfast is available daily in the kitchen. Menu may vary by
