GPIO ribbon cable

[doddy1985]

Just got my board I noticed the socket connectors on the bottom of the board for GPIO. Was just curious if anyone has a part number for breaking this out on a ribbon cable or some other means to get to GPIO pins?

A related question: does anyone have an idea if/how one could connect Raspberry PI or Ardino accessories to the Parallella through such a cable? There are huge numbers of parts available for those systems and it would be really nice to use some on a parallella...

So this probably isn't exactly what you were thinking... But there is an atmel32 soft core on opencores website. You could add that to fpga bit stream to program zynq chip n then route a similar header connector from parallella n then drop on whatever shields you already havefor aarduino. I'd really like to get to that point eventually. Wouldbe a neato project I think. Might even be able to clock the soft core faster than atmel hard chip?? Maybe not.
