====== Evaluating AD400X and ADAQ400X devices  =======

**Evaluation Board for the ADAQ4003, 18-Bit, 2 MSPS, μModule Data Acquisition Solution**
{{adi>en/_/media/analog/en/evaluation-board-images/images/eval-adaq400xpmdztop-web.gif?600}}

===== Supported Evaluation Boards ======
  * [[adi>EVAL-AD400x-FMCZ]]
  * [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]]

===== General Description =====
The EVAL-ADAQ40xx is an evaluation board for the ADAQ4003 8-Bit, 2 MSPS, μModule Data Acquisition Solution.
This guide provides instructions to setup EVAL-ADAQ40xx and evaluate [[adi>ADAQ4003]] with Linux.

<note tip>For more informations about hardware specifications, see the [[adi>en/resources/evaluation-hardware-and-software/evaluation-boards-kits/EVAL-ADAQ40xx.html|EVAL-ADAQ40xx Evaluation Board]] page.</note>

===== Features =====
  * Fully featured Pmod evaluation board with a Pmod to FMC interposer board
  * Versatile analog signal conditioning circuitry
  * On-board reference and ADC drivers with additional test points for external reference input

===== Linux Supported Platforms =====

==== CoraZ7 Platform ====

=== Hardware Required ===
  * [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]]
  * [[https://digilent.com/shop/cora-z7-zynq-7000-single-core-for-arm-fpga-soc-development/ | CoraZ7]] board
  * A signal generator (In this demo [[adi>ADALM2000]] is used)
  * 16GB (or larger) Class 10 (or faster) micro-SD card
  * 2x Micro-USB cable
  * Ethernet cable
  * A host computer (Linux or Windows)

=== Setting up the Hardware ===

The connections for the setup with CoraZ7 are the following:
  * Connect [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]] to JA PMOD port on [[https://digilent.com/shop/cora-z7-zynq-7000-single-core-for-arm-fpga-soc-development/ | CoraZ7]]
  * Connect the host/development computer with CoraZ7 using a Micro-USB cable
  * Connect the host/development computer with [[adi>ADALM2000]] using a Micro-USB cable
  * Connect [[adi>en/resources/evaluation-hardware-and-software/evaluation-boards-kits/ADALM2000.html|ADALM 2000]] probes to [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]]

The tricky part of this setup is connecting [[adi>ADALM2000]] to [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]] since [[adi>ADALM2000]] probes don't plug into [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]] ADC inputs. To sort that, you can use [[:university:tools:m2k:accessories:bnc|ADALM2000 BNC Adapter Board]] with additional probes to make a tight connection.

Alternatively, you can use long PCB header pins to adapt [[adi>ADALM2000]] female probes to male probes which can then connect to J1 and J2 internal connections. For the external part of the ADC connectors, carefully curled jumper wires may do the trick.

{{:resources:eval:adaq4003_input_adapt.jpg?200|}}
</WRAP>

The [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]] configuration mesaures (IN+ - IN-) as (J2 - J1).
Connect [[adi>ADALM2000]] W1 to [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]] J1, [[adi>ADALM2000]] W2 to J2, and [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]] J1, J2 outer connectors to [[adi>ADALM2000]] GND. With that, [[adi>ADAQ4003]] readings will convert [[adi>ADALM2000]] W2 - W1 which we will configure in Scopy as CH2 - CH1.

==== ZedBoard Platform ====

=== Hardware Required ===
  * [[adi>EVAL-AD400x-FMCZ]] or [[adi>EVAL-ADAQ40xx]]
  * [[https://www.avnet.com/wps/portal/us/products/avnet-boards/avnet-board-families/zedboard/ | ZedBoard]] Rev D or later board
  * A signal generator (In this demo [[adi>ADALM2000]] is used)
  * 16GB (or larger) Class 10 (or faster) micro-SD card
  * Micro-USB cable
  * 12Vdc, 3A power supply
  * Ethernet cable
  * User interface setup (choose one):
    * HDMI monitor, keyboard, and mouse plugged directly into the Zedboard
    * Host Linux/Mac/Windows computer on the same network as the Zedboard

{{:resources:eval:adaq4003_test_zed_setup.jpg|}}

===== Software Required =====
    * [[:resources:tools-software:linux-software:kuiper-linux|Kuiper Linux Image]]
    * A UART terminal (GNU screen/Picocom/Minicom/Putty, etc.), Baud rate 115200 (8N1)
    * [[resources:tools-software:linux-software:iio_oscilloscope|IIO Oscilloscope]]
    * [[university:tools:m2k:scopy|Scopy]]

===== Quick Start Guide =====

==== Flash Kuiper Linux to the SD card ====

Install Kuiper Linux to the SD card. Step by step guides for imaging [[:resources:tools-software:linux-software:kuiper-linux|Kuiper Linux]] are available for [[:resources:tools-software:linux-software:zynq_images:linux_hosts|Linux]] and [[:resources:tools-software:linux-software:zynq_images:windows_hosts|Windows]].

==== Configuring the SD Card ====

Linux support for ADAQ4003 and similar ADC devices was introduced in January 2024 so any Linux Kuiper release after that date will have support for ADAQ4003 built in.

If using older Kuiper releases, no **zynq-coraz7s-adaq4003** or no **zynq-zed-adv7511-ad4020** directory is available, use one of the set of boot files below or follow the next subsections to get BOOT.BIN, uImage, and devicetree.dtb files.

Follow the **Configuring the SD Card for FPGA Projects** section of the [[:resources:tools-software:linux-software:kuiper-linux|Kuiper Linux]] page.

Copy the following files onto the BOOT partition to configure the SD card:
  * **BOOT.BIN**: Binary blob file which includes first stage boot loader and FPGA bitstream.
  * **devicetree.dtb**: Binary blob containing the specification of what hardware is present in the system.
  * **uImage**: Linux kernel image is the computer program that provides OS functionality.

=== Get BOOT.BIN from HDL project ===

To achieve high performance with ADAQ4003, the hardware platform must have an integrated FPGA. To configure the FPGA to properly support ADAQ4003, ADI engineers provide [[repo>hdl|HDL reference projects]] from which we will use the [[repo>hdl/tree/main/projects/pulsar_adc_pmdz|pulsar project]].

If there is no directory with boot files for your platform of choice under the SD BOOT partition, follow the build instructions on the [[:resources:fpga:docs:build|Building HDL]] page to build the pulsar project and generate a BOOT.BIN file from that.

=== Get uImage and devicetree.dtb from Linux project ===

If there is no directory with boot files for your platform of choice under the SD BOOT partition, follow the [[:resources:tools-software:linux-build:generic:zynq|Linux build guide]] to build a new Linux kernel image and devicetree blob. After that, replace Kuiper Linux image with the newly built //uImage// and copy the proper .dtb file your platform (either //zynq-coraz7s-adaq4003.dtb// or //zynq-zed-adv7511-ad4020.dtb//) from //arch/arm/boot/dts/// to the BOOT partition as //devicetree.dtb//.

===== Application Software =====

Analog Devices [[adi>ADAQ4003]] can be easily managed with [[resources:tools-software:linux-software:iio_oscilloscope|IIO Oscilloscope]] which has interfaces for configuring and retrieving data from IIO devices. After installing  IIO Oscilloscope in the host computer, open the application and connect to the IIO context provided by the Kuiper Linux installation running on CoraZ7. Both host machine and CoraZ7 must be in the same network otherwise IIO Oscilloscope won't be able to find the correct context. A quick way of getting some data after connecting to Cora's IIO context is to access the DMM (Digital MultiMeter) tab where the user can see the results of single-shot readings from the ADC.

Users can inspect ADAQ4003 attributes such as the sampling frequency in the Debug tab. Edit the value field then click the write button to change ADAQ4003 parameters.

[[adi>ADAQ4003]] is a differential ADC and thus converts the difference between its positive and negative inputs. We can use [[adi>ADALM2000]] to set different input waves so to evaluate [[adi>ADAQ4003]] performance. Install [[university:tools:m2k:scopy|Scopy]] in the host computer to easily configure [[adi>ADALM2000]] output channels. For a simple test, we can set a 100Hz square wave in channel W1 and a 1KHz sine wave in channel W2. The difference can then be read with [[adi>ADAQ4003]] and the resulting waveform plot with IIO Oscilloscope.

The next example shows the effect of increasing the sample rate on characterizing a waveform. We set W1 as a 20 KHz square wave and W2 as a 200 KHz sine wave. At 1MSPS, we can barely see what happens when the square wave transitions from low to high. At 2MSPS, the resulting waveform is much clearer and the transition effect that happens from square wave low to high is clear.
