ADRV9361-Z7035 User Guide - Software
The Zynq SoC onboard the ADRV9361-Z7035 SDR 2×2 contains Dual ARM® Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ processors capable of running a variety of operating systems and is supported by an ecosystem of development tools.
Getting Started
To quickly explore the reference design, here are some resources:
- The SD Card Image used to boot the reference design.
- The Analog Devices ADRV9361-Z7035 SDR Wiki provides details about reference designs
-
- For HDL, we highly recommend cloning from the latest official tag (released twice per year), not the development branch. https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl/releases
- For example, choose branch hdl_2015_r2 to get the second release of 2015. Notice the support Xilinx Vivado tool version.
- The TCL scripts to build the Vivado project for this carrier are located in /projects/pzsdr/ccfmc
- The ADI Reference Designs HDL User Guide explains how to rebuild the FPGA project.
NOTE: The reference design is based on the HDL code maintained by Analog Devices. To manage dependencies in the build process for Vivado projects, Analog Devices provides Linux-based makefiles. We recommend that Windows users build Vivado projects using ‘make’ under CYGWIN. Instructions to install a minimal version of CYGWIN that will provide a Linux-like environment under Windows are available here.
Operating Systems
The following operating Systems are supported on the Zynq ARM processors. The most up-to-date and comprehensive list can be found here on the Xilinx web site, however the following section will give you an idea of the popular options. Most software developers will start with the Linux reference design and drivers provided by Analog Devices at the GitHub page listed below. Analog Devices also have a wiki page that provides details of their Linux reference design for ADRV9361-Z7035 SDR here.

Drivers, Source Code, and Reference Designs
Analog Devices provides a comprehensive set of drivers, source code, reference designs, and other technical resources for the ADRV9361-Z7035 SDR. More information may be found on their ADRV9361-Z7035 SDR wiki page. A source code support package is hosted on Github, including the HDL and software code.
Analog Devices AD9361 RF Agile Transceiver
Analog Devices provides complete drivers for the AD9361 for both bare metal/No-OS and operating systems (Linux). The AD9361 and AD9364 share the same API. The AD9361 and AD9364 drivers can be found at:
Support for these drivers can be found at:
In addition, Analog Devices provides FPGA HDL source code for the Xilinx Zynq SoC.
Xilinx Zynq-7000 AP SoC
Analog Devices provides complete drivers for the Zynq SoC ARM peripherals, including those implemented on the ADRV9361-Z7035 SDR 2×2 module.
- Ethernet Linux MDIO driver
- USB Linux driver
- SDIO Linux driver
These are included in the Linux kernel images provided at the Zynq Images wiki page.
MATLAB and Simulink Examples
These designs demonstrate high bandwidth data transfer between ADRV9361-Z7035 SDR and MATLAB or Simulink running on a host PC. They also provide examples of designing custom baseband functions in the Zynq SoC.
