AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ Virtex UltraScale+ VCU118 Quick Start Guide
This guide provides some quick instructions (still takes awhile to download, and set things up) on how to setup the AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ on VCU118
Prerequisites
Required Hardware
- Xilinx VCU118 Rev 1.0 or later board
- AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ FMC board
- Ethernet cable
- 2 x Micro-USB cable
Required Software
- You need a Host PC (Windows or Linux)
- A UART terminal (Putty/Tera Term/Minicom, etc.), Baud rate 115200 (8N1)
- Xilinx Vivado 2019.1 or later - Xilinx Software Commandline Tool(XCST)
- Bitfile and Linux ELF image
- IIO Scope Download
Setting up the hardware (VCU118)
You will need to:
- Get the Xilinx VCU118
- Connect the AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ FMC board to the FPGA carrier FMC+ socket(J22).
- Connect USB UART J4 (Micro USB) and USB JTAG J106 (Micro USB) to your host PC.
- Set the jumpers of SW16 - which controls the JTAG Mode: 1: off, 2: on, 3: off, 4: on as seen in the below picture
- Plug the Power Supply into 12V Power input connector (J15).
- Turn it on.
All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection.
Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.
Programming the FPGA
There are two ways of loading the design. One is using the XCST command line, and the second method is to run the tcl script which takes care of loading the bit file and the Linux image.
1. Loading the design using XSCT command line
In Windows, you can run the XSCT terminal from start menu → Xilinx Design Tools → Xilinx Software Command Line Tool.
