Hello all. I'm looking for some information about Altera's FPGA. I have this Cyclone V GX dev board:
It has a 160-pin HSMC connector, which connects using this flexible cable:
I'm wondering if this connector can be used for general purpose off-board communication for custom uses outside of connecting to other Mezzanine boards? Could I, for example, connect some wires to the pins and signal them independently for GPIO?
Or... is this cable interface something proprietary that only allows interconnect between Mezzanine devices?
Best regards, Rick C. Hodgin
