ADRV9001/2 Quick Start Guides

The Quick Start Guides provide a simple step by step instruction on how to do an initial system setup for the ADRV9002NP/W1/PCBZ and ADRV9002NP/W2/PCBZ boards on various FPGA development boards. They will discuss how to program the bitstream, run a no-OS program or boot a Linux distribution.

Supported Carriers

The ADRV9002NP/W1/PCBZ and ADRV9002NP/W2/PCBZ is, by definition a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC), that means it needs a carrier to plug into. The carriers we support are:

Board	ADRV9002/*
	FMC Connector	CMOS interface	LVDS interface
ZCU102	HPC0	Yes	Yes
ZC706	LPC	Yes VADJ 1.8V¹	N/A²
Zed Board	LPC	Yes VADJ 1.8V	N/A²
Arria 10 SoC	FMCA	Yes	N/A³

¹ Instruction for reprogramming the VADJ can be found in the official guide and in this forum thread

² Cmos only operation

³ Not supported due sub-optimal mapping of the clock pins from the source synchronous interfaces.

CMOS only operation

On the ZC706 / ZedBoard platforms the FMC connectors map to HR IO banks. The HR banks have a limitation that when using LVDS I/O standard you must set the bank VCCO voltage to 2.5V, however the ADRV9001 evaluation board is using IO supplies of 1.8V and does not have level shifters for the single ended lines. Therefore the VCCO of the banks must be set to 1.8 V (VADJ) and limiting the operation to CMOS mode only. More information on the limitation see 7 Series Select IO guide section ‘LVDS and LVDS_25’ and Table 1-43

Supported Environments

The supported OS are:

Board	HDL	Linux Software	No-OS Software	Required Minimum Release
ZCU102	Yes	Yes	Yes	2019-R2
ZC706	Yes	Yes	Yes	2020-R1
Zed Board	Yes	Yes	Yes	2019-R2
Arria 10 SoC	Yes	Yes	—	2020-R1

Hardware Setup

The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), ethernet (Linux), DisplayPort or HDMI (if available) or JTAG (no-OS) connections. A few typical setups are shown below.

ZedBoard + EVAL-ADRV9002

ZCU102 + EVAL-ADRV9002

ZC706 + EVAL-ADRV9002

A10SOC + EVAL-ADRV9002

Identify your hardware

Evaluation boards were equipped with different silicon revisions. All boards built since the middle of December 2020 have C0 silicon, older ones use B0 silicon these are no longer shipped. You can identify the board you have based on its label.

Label	Silicon Revision	Variant
	B0	W1 (Narrowband)
	B0	W2 (Wideband)
	C0	W1 (Narrowband)
	C0	W2 (Wideband)

Tip

Each revision of silicon requires its corresponding software support files in the later steps.
