Quickstart

The Quick Start Guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD488X-FMC board on various FPGA development boards. In these guides, we will discuss how to program the bitstream, run a no-OS program or boot a Linux distribution.

• On ZED
  • Using Linux as software
    • Necessary files
    • Required software
    • Required hardware
    • Testing
      • Creating the setup
      • Boot messages
      • Useful commands for the serial terminal

Supported carriers

The EVAL-AD488X-FMC, is, by definition a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC); that means it needs a carrier to plug into.

The carriers we support are:

FPGA board	EVAL-AD488X-FMC
ZedBoard	FMC LPC

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	No

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the EVAL-AD488X-FMC board connects to the FMC LPC connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet (Linux), HDMI (if available) and/or JTAG (no-OS) connections. A few typical setups are shown below.
