+ | ======= ADAS3022 Evaluation Project Overview ======= | ||
+ | |||
+ | The evaluation project contains all the source files needed to build a system that can be used to configure the ADAS3022 and capture data from it. The system consists of a Nios II softcore processor that is implemented in the FPGA found on the CED1Z board and a PC application. The softcore controls the communication with the Device Under Test (DUT) and the data capture process. The captured data is saved into the SRAM of the CED1Z board and aftwerwards it is read by the PC application and saved into a comma separated values (.csv) file that can be used for further data analysis. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== FPGA Design ===== | ||

+ | |||
+ | The Nios II processor contains a peripheral that implements the communication protocol with the DUT. The peripheral is divided into three logical modules: a module which implements the interface with the Avalon bus , a module which implements an Avalon master interface which is used to write data directly in the SRAM and a module which communicates with the evaluation board. Following is presented a block diagram of the HDL core and a description of the interface signals. | ||

+ | ===== ADAS3022 HDL driver ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to acquire data from the ADAS3022, several modules are implemented on the Evaluation Board FPGA. | ||

+ | The CED1Z_interface module is used to communicate with the CED1Z board. | ||
+ | The PLL module is used to generate 50MHz clock signal from the 100MHz external clock signal available on the evaluation board. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Quick Evaluation ====== | ||
+ | <note warning> After reprogramming the FPGA on the evaluation board for using the reference design you won't be able to revert to the standard evaluation programming file and you can only use the evaluation board for prototyping. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before proceeding with this step, you should be satisfied with the evaluation results from the standard evaluation | ||
+ | The next sections of this document present all the steps needed to create a fully functional project that can be used for evaluating the operation of the ADI platform. It is possible to skip these steps and load in the FPGA an image that contains a fully functional system that can be used for platform evalution. The first step of the quick evaluation process is to program the FPGA with the image provided in the lab files. Before the image can be loaded the Quartus II Web Edition tool or the Quartus II Programmer must be installed on your computer. To load the FPGA image you must first make sure that the USB cable is not connected to the CED1Z board. Connect the USB Blaster to the J6 connector of the CED1Z and power the board. Run the program_fpga.bat batch file located in the ADIEvalBoard/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Evaluation Board design presented on this page is different than the default design loaded on the ADAS3022EDZ. In order to use the design from this page, the Evaluation Board FPGA must be reprogrammed. To reprogram the FPGA on the Evaluation board, the following steps must be followed, AFTER the CED1Z FPGA has been programmed using program_fpga.bat: | ||
+ | * 1. Connect the USB-Blaster to the P2 port | ||
+ | * 2. Start Quartus II, Start Tools -> | ||
+ | * 3. Select Mode Active Serial Programming | ||
+ | * 4. Press Add File and select EvalBoardFPGA/ | ||
+ | * 5. Check Program/ | ||
+ | * 6. After the programming ends, power off the CED1Z and reprogramm it using program_fpga.bat as described above. | ||
+ | |||
+ | <WRAP round help> This is a one time operation, as the programming is done on a non volatile memory on the Evaluation Board. </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to acquire data, follow the instructions in the // | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== NIOS II Software Design ====== | ||
+ | {{page>: | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Evaluation Project Data Acquisition ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | After the FPGA is correctly programmed the data acquisition process can start by executing the data_acquisition.bat script. The data acquisition is done at 1MSPS if the ADAS3022 is in warp mode or at 0.909MSPS if in normal mode. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The ADAS3022 can be configured by editing the data_capture.tcl script, and configuring each bit of the CONFIGURATION register. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the resulting csv file is opened with Microsoft Excel, the data will be displayed on a single column if the sequencer is disabled or on 8 columns if the basic sequencer is enabled. Each column represents a channel. If the ADAS3022 is configured to acquire less than 8 channels the remaining channels will have a constant value. For example, in the below picture, the ADAS3022 was configure to acquire data on 4 differential channels, a sine signal was applied on the first channel and the rest were left floating. In this case, the first column can be plotted as a sine wave, the next 3 have some noise on them, and the last 4 have a constant value of 0. | ||
