MFCC. The nose plugs into the connector on the left

The ODIN 'nose' is a plug-in card for the CESMFCC (Multifunctional Computing Core), a full functional processor board in a PMC form-factor. The nose gives the MFCC a 128 MB/s input to ODIN S-LINK Source Cards.  The nose contains the same hardware (HDMP-1032/1034 G-LINK chips and optical transceiver) as a single channel ODIN, but with the Altera removed. The S-LINK protocol is implemented as a core in the "front-end FPGA" that is on the MFCC.  Only the S-LINK receiver logic will be implemented, but in fact with the right software implemented in the "front-end FPGA", the hardware can also be used to implement transmitter logic.
