+ | ======= Troublshooting Tips ======= | ||
+ | |||
+ | ** Evaluation Board is not Functioning Properly ** | ||
+ | * Ensure that the evaluation board is properly seated in the FMC connector | ||
+ | * After ACE has programmed the FPGA, power is provided to the evaluation board. Ensure that the LEDs that denote power is ok, are all lit. See image below. | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Ensure that the eRPC server has made a successful connection to the evaluation board. If the Chip Info reads back a successful UID, this means that the connection is successful. Otherwise, the UID will read 0x0 (see Figure 11). If this is the case, power cycle the board, and restart all software. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ** ACE is slow to capture data and setup the board ** | ||
+ | * Ensure that the USB connection between ADS9-v2EBZ board and the PC is done through a USB3.0 cable. | ||
+ | * Connect the cable to a USB3.0 supported port on the PC | ||
+ | * Restart all software and hardware | ||
+ | |||
+ | ** Unable to capture data after device is setup ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | In some instances, the user may be unable to capture data from the FPGA. This is characterized by no capture via ACE, or a “configure channel failed” error in ACE. In either case, only four of the six LEDs on the FPGA board will be lit (see figure below). | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this happens, and the setup is using an external direct clock to the chip, ensure that the instrumentation is setup as explained in the evaluation board user guide UG-1829. Ensure the correct clock and refclock frequencies are set. Check the connections to the board to make sure they are snug. If the problem persists, open DPG Lite and download a tone. After this step, a successful data capture will show all the LEDs lit. See figure below. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ** HMC7044 Configuration Error ** | ||
+ | |||
+ | When operating with the on-board clocking and on-chip PLL mode, the user can get a “HMC7044 Configuration Error” in the ACE setup. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this happens, ensure the correct modes are selected to setup the chip. Please note that not all modes that are listed in the UG-1578, device user guide, are supported by the evaluation board hardware using the on-board HMC7044 clock and on-chip PLL. This is because the HMC7044 derives the reference from a 100MHz crystal oscillator if using the FMCA version, or 122.88MHz crystal oscillator if using the FMCB version of the evaluation board. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If this use case is required, the best approach is to switch to using the direct external clock. This bypasses the HMC7044 setup and the user is not limited to the setup options provided only by the combination of on-board crystal oscillator and the HMC7044 setup. | ||
