To communicate with the additional 448 front-end chips assembled in the Insertable B-Layer (IBL) new FPGA based readout cards consisting of a Back of Crate card (BOC) and a Read Out Driver (ROD) have been developed. This paper will describe the firmware and hardware development of the new BOC prototype. Firmware tests, like electrical and optical loopback and communication tests with the new IBL front-end modules and the ROD will also be presented in the paper.
