Description of COMBO cards
The set of COMBO cards has been designed by CESNET and his partners for the CESNET strategic project "Implementation of IPv6 in the CESNET2 Network". The cards are actively used in the EU projects 6NET (IST-2001-32603), SCAMPI (IST-32404) and GN2 (No. 511082). .
The main idea of the COMBO family is to give the developers a possibility to work with "open hardware" and use it in the same way as open-source software. The heart of COMBO cards consists of one or more FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) chips, memories and other necessary components (power supply, IO chips, connectors, etc.). Due to the flexibility of FPGA chips, the functionality of COMBO cards can be easily (and quickly - within just several milliseconds) changed by downloading a new design into the FPGA. This way the same cards can be used for a wide array of research and development projects.
