Hi Giovanni, You can use the four SFP28 cages that are on the ZCU216 to implement 100G-CUAI4. This does require a 4x25 to 100G breakout cable.
It is true that the four transceivers are split 2-2 over two different MGT sites. However, after a good amount of effort and some additional HDL this caveat has been accounted for and the core knows how to work across these two sites for a correct implementation of 100G. So there is no need for an FMC card out of the box with the ZCU216 and CASPER tools to run 100G. There are FMC cards that do work to add an additional 100G port if wanting to use the 4x25 + 100G. The HTG 2-port QSFP28 is an example of such FMC card that works.

The board has 4x 28G SFP28 cages, which are sited in two different transceiver blocks. So I suspect the core cannot be used, even using a breakout cable. It should be possible to us the 100G core on a FMC daughterboard, but I don't know if there s a preferred one to use. Do you have some tested FMC module which works with the yellow block?

There have been model files for these tutorials but have been lacking for sometime documentation and overview of their functionality and operation. The wideband spectrometer tutorial is modeled after other familiar CASPER wideband spectrometer tutorials. However, these demonstrate different configurations of the RFDC and navigate some of the differences between quad- and dual-tile RFSoC platforms. That tutorial can be found here: https://casper-toolflow.readthedocs.io/projects/tutorials/en/latest/tutorials/rfsoc/tut_spec.html The 100GbE tutorial is a two part tutorial. The first part is used as a simple example to get familiar with the 100GbE yellow block and to test the hardware setup. The second part of this tutorial streams and packetizes time samples from the RFDC and sends them over 100GbE to a server and demonstrate a simple catcher and processing script for working with packets received from the RFSoC and implementing a simple spectrometer.
