1. What type of FMC connector it is, male or female?
2. Is freedom-u-sdk the official sdk for this board?

Thanks!

Hi Henry, one more question. @henrystyles

I have a Xilinx VC707 board, and I believe SiFive also use VC707 as verification platform.

I would like to request a project template/example that it include a ChipLink-TileLink converter, so it can connect to my TileLink Slave IP on FPGA board.

Thanks.
