The BeMicro SDK/SDP Interposer board is an adaptor that allows Arrow’s BeMicro SDK USB stick to connect to all daughter boards on the SDP Platform. The BeMicro SDK/SDP Interposer provides embedded FPGA system developers the chance to prototype their FPGA + ADI data converter, mixed signal or RF system concept quickly and easily.

The BeMicro SDK/SDP Interposer routes signals from the BeMicro SDK to the SDP daughter board. There is no additional logic on board. There is a mating edge connector for the BeMicro SDK and a 120 pin connector header for connecting to the SDP daughter boards.
The BeMicro SDK, developed by Arrow in association with Altera, is a complete soft core embedded processor evaluation system on a USB stick. It makes embedded FPGA design simpler and easier. The BeMicro SDK/SDP Interposer offer unparalleled design flexibility and protection against processor obsolescence in an easy-to-use USB platform that’s ready to go as soon as it’s plugged in.
The complete setup is shown below:

As such, in order to properly use the BeMicro SDK/SDP Interposer, you will need both of:
Projects which show basic connectivity between the BeMicro SDK and the ADI SDP Daughter cards will be pubished on this wiki shortly.
