-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 KCU105 board requires some additional setup steps to be compatible with the DPGDownloader software, and these steps only need to be done **once** to properly configure the FPGA for future use with DPGDownloader. Before powering on the KCU105 unit, insert the Micro SD card with FPGA image into the appropriate slot on the bottom right-hand side of the KCU105 evaluation board as shown in Figure 1. Be certain to verify that the Micro SD card clicks into place when inserted. 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. After powering on the KCU105, wait approximately 10 seconds so that the KCU105 has adequate time to load the FPGA image. If the KCU105's LEDs begin flashing immediately after power on, then the FPGA image has not been loaded correctly. In this case, remove the Micro SD card, confirm that the appropriate files are stored on the card, and repeat the above procedure. Be sure to verify that your Micro SD card is not being encoded when you write the FPGA image to it. Proper FPGA image programming can be confirmed by looking at the 3 LEDs near the KCU105's power switch--these 3 LEDs should be toggling in a heartbeat pattern.

 The outputs of the AD917x can be captured at the SMA connectors: J1 for DAC0; J2 for DAC1; and J3 for CLKOUT. The outputs of the AD917x can be captured at the SMA connectors: J1 for DAC0; J2 for DAC1; and J3 for CLKOUT.

 +Some applications may be more sensitive to clock spurious. To prevent any spurious coupling from the onboard HMC7044 onto the AD917x output, the HMC7044 may be kept in reset:
 +
 +  - reset the board in ACE (Reset Board button in the "AD917x-FMC-EBZ" view) 
 +  - in the Wizard, under Eval System Option select chip to configure: "AD917x Only". This will keep the HMC7044 in reset after step #1.
 +  - Under DC Test Mode, select the option "Main" or "Channel" to enable the NCO-only mode 
 +  - Under SERDES Interface, set the link mode and interpolation (this will apply a clock to the corresponding datapaths. E.g. dual-link to enable both datapath0 and datapath1, that would feed DAC0 and DAC1 respectively)
 +  - Under Clock frequencies, set the Input Data Rate to set the DAC Clock Rate. DAC Clock Rate = Data Rate * Interpolation.

 The raw macro file will be saved using ACE syntax, which is not easily readable. To remedy this, the ACE software download includes the Macro to Hex Conversion Tool. The user can choose to include or exclude register write, reads, and/or comments in the conversion. The file pathways for the source and save paths should be the same, except that one should be an .acemacro file and the other should be a .txt file. The “Convert” button converts and opens the converted text file, which is easier to read. The conversion tool can also convert back to an .acemacro file if desired. The Macro to Hex converter tool is located in the start menu under "All Programs" --> "Analog Devices" --> "ACE" --> "Tools". The raw macro file will be saved using ACE syntax, which is not easily readable.
