Hello,

very intresting project. Sorry for the stupid question but on your video - the pci riser are not connected to the motherboard ? How is the pci fpga card bus communicating with the motherboard ?

Thanks

Normal USB ports

Sorry if it's already been answered.  Is the USB controller a bottleneck for a multi-FPGA build?  On a normal motherboard you can use a USB hub to expand the USB slots but there is a bandwidth constraint on the USB controller itself.  Are a few 4 port expanded controllers needed to expand that to have each FPGA card on it's own dedicated USB controller for max throughput?  Something like the Sonnet Allegro Pro?  Thanks,
