Quickstart

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the AD57xx evaluation boards (EVAL-AD5780ARDZ, EVAL-AD5781ARDZ, EVAL-AD5791ARDZ) 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.

Supported carriers

The AD57xx evaluation boards support precision, single-channel voltage output DACs with various resolution and range options. These compact evaluation boards are designed to work with multiple FPGA development platforms via Arduino shield connectors.

The carriers we support are:

FPGA board	AD57xx evaluation boards
Cora Z7S	Arduino shield connector
DE10-Nano	Arduino shield connector

Supported Environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
Cora Z7S	Yes	Yes	Yes
DE10-Nano	Yes	Yes	No

Hardware Setup

The AD57xx evaluation boards connect to the Arduino Shield connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), ethernet (Linux), and/or JTAG (no-OS) connections.

A few typical setups are shown below.
