 ===== Hardware Setup ===== ===== Hardware Setup =====
 +==== ADS7/ADS8 Setup ====
 +
 +The Cypress FX3 and interconnect board are not needed if the ADS7 or ADS8 board is used for data pattern generation. The hardware setup configuration when using the ADS7/ADS8 is as follows:
 +  - Connect the AD917x-FMC-EBZ board to the FMC connector on the ADS7 or ADS8.
 +  - Plug the mini USB cable into the AD917x-FMC-EBZ board and connect the other end to the PC being used. 
 +  - Connect the ADS7 or ADS8 to the PC being used with the USB cable to the ADS7 or ADS8 board and connect the power supply.
 +  - Connect the DAC0 output (J2) or the DAC1 output (J1) to the spectrum analyzer.

 Connect a reference clock frequency to the “Board Ref Clock” connection shown in Figure 1 (SMA connector J4).  This is the configuration required any time the evaluation board is to be measured and used.

-==== Additional KCU105 Setup ====+=== Using KCU-105 with DPG Downloader === 
 The KCU-105 board requires some additional setup steps to be compatible with the DPGDownloader software.  A Micro-SD card that contains the FPGA image used with DPGDownloader is included in the evaluation kit.  Before powering on the KCU105 unit, this Micro-SD card should be inserted into the appropriate slot on the bottom right-hand side of the KCU105 evaluation board as shown in Figure 1.  In order to boot up the KCU105 board using the image from the Micro-SD card, ensure that the DIP switch settings on SW15 are set according to Figure 2 below. The KCU-105 board requires some additional setup steps to be compatible with the DPGDownloader software.  A Micro-SD card that contains the FPGA image used with DPGDownloader is included in the evaluation kit.  Before powering on the KCU105 unit, this Micro-SD card should be inserted into the appropriate slot on the bottom right-hand side of the KCU105 evaluation board as shown in Figure 1.  In order to boot up the KCU105 board using the image from the Micro-SD card, ensure that the DIP switch settings on SW15 are set according to Figure 2 below.

 Once these steps are complete, the KCU105 board can be powered on and plugged into the USB ports on the host PC. This step only needs to be done once in order to set up the FPGA board properly for any future use with DPGDownloader software. Once these steps are complete, the KCU105 board can be powered on and plugged into the USB ports on the host PC.

-The Cypress FX3 and interconnect board are not needed if the ADS7 or ADS8 board is used for data pattern generation. The hardware setup configuration when using the ADS7/ADS8 is as follows: +The AD917x can work in DC TEST/NCO mode without ADS7/ADS8/KCU105 in non-(1x-1x) operating modes, but it has to run from an external power supplyIn this case, DO NOT CONNECT the AD917x-FMC-EBZ board to the ADS7/ADS8/KCU105. Instead, connect +12V to TP41 (red), GND to TP42 (black). The external power supply should have capacity for 1A of currentPut the jumper on JP71 for powering on the PIC and USB port. If using an external clock source, connect a low phase noise, high frequency clock source to J34. In addition, connect the spectrum analyzer to the SMA connector, J1 or J2.
