FMC EEPROM Programming
As part of the FMC specification, EEPROMs exist on the FMC cards which can provide configuration for different voltages on for the cards themselves. EEPROM images for different ADI cards are available online and can be manipulated using the fru-dump tool. This page will provide steps for updating specific FMC cards. The steps are very generic and should apply to all ADI FMC cards which have available master image files.
FMCOMMS2 + ZCU102 Example
To update the EEPROM image with the masterfiles follow this procedure on the FPGA development kit itself, such as the ZCU102, ZC706, or similar.
1. Open a terminal or SSH to the target board
2. Locate the EEPROM block devices:
root@analog:~# find /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/ -name eeprom /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0054/eeprom /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/i2c-6/6-0054/eeprom /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/i2c-14/14-0050/eeprom /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-14/14-0050/eeprom /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-6/6-0054/eeprom
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom is the desired EEPROM for ZCU102. The actual path on your system might be different depending on FPGA carrier, kernel version, and devicetree. /sys/bus/i2c/devices/6-0054/eeprom is for the EEPROM on the FPGA system. The remaining entries are simply references to these EEPROMs. If you don't know which is which, remove the FMC card and run the find command again. Only the FPGA EEPROM will be listed.
3. Check existing EEPROM.
If empty, it will have the following output:
root@analog:~# fru-dump -b /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom read 256 bytes from /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom fru_dump 0.8.1.7, built 04Aug2022 FRU Version number mismatch 0xff should be 0x01
If programmed, it will have the following output:
root@analog:~# fru-dump -b /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom
read 256 bytes from /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom
Date of Man : Mon Jul 22 20:23:00 2013
Manufacturer : Analog Devices
Product Name : AD9361 RF Hardware Development Kit
Serial Number : 00045
Part Number : AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ
FRU File ID : Empty Field
PCB Rev : C
PCB ID : 9361FMC01A
BOM Rev : 1
Uses LVDS : Y
4. To update the EEPROM you will need the master file for that particular board. For Kuiper Linux, the master files are located within the /usr/local/src/fru_tools/masterfiles/ folder. If this does not exist or you are not using Kuiper Linux, you can download the files from GitHub.
Once you have located the master file for you board, update the EEPROM with it. Below is for FMCOMMS2:
root@analog:~# cat /usr/local/src/fru_tools/masterfiles/AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ-FRU.bin > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom
Once written it can be checked using fru-dump:
root@analog:~# fru-dump -b /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom
read 256 bytes from /sys/bus/i2c/devices/14-0050/eeprom
Date of Man : Mon Jul 22 20:23:00 2013
Manufacturer : Analog Devices
Product Name : AD9361 RF Hardware Development Kit
Serial Number : 00045
Part Number : AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ
FRU File ID : Empty Field
PCB Rev : C
PCB ID : 9361FMC01A
BOM Rev : 1
Uses LVDS : Y
5. Once the EEPROM is updated it will be read at boot and the card should be correctly initialized. So at this point reboot the system
root@analog:~# reboot
