Quickstart

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ boards 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 A10GX (OBSOLETE)
• On KCU105
• On VCU118
• On ZC706
• On ZCU102

Supported carriers

The AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ is an FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card), meaning it requires a compatible carrier board. The officially supported carriers are listed below, as documented in the ADI Quick Start Guides.

The carriers we support are listed below, as well as the FMC port where to connect the evaluation board:

FPGA board	EVAL-AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ
A10GX (OBSOLETE)	FMC1
KCU105	FMC HPC
VCU118	FMC+
ZC706	FMC HPC
ZCU102	FMC HPC0

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
A10GX (OBSOLETE)	—	Yes	—
KCU105	Yes	Yes	—
VCU118	Yes	Yes	—
ZC706	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZCU102	Yes	Yes	Yes

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ board connects to the HPC connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), ethernet (for Linux), HDMI (if available) and/or JTAG (for no‑OS). A few typical setups are shown below.

A10GX + AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ (OBSOLETE)

KCU105 + AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ

VCU118 + AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ

ZC706 + AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ

ZCU102 + AD-FMCDAQ3-EBZ
