Quickstart

The Quick Start Guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD7768-1 / EVAL-ADAQ7768-1 boards.

FPGA-based evaluation

Use these guides when evaluating with an FPGA carrier board. They cover bitstream programming, no-OS programs and Linux boot.

Supported carriers

The EVAL-AD7768-1 / EVAL-ADAQ7768-1, 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-AD7768-1	EVAL-ADAQ7768-1
ZedBoard	FMC LPC	FMC LPC

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

Eval Board	FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
EVAL-AD7768-1	ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	Yes
EVAL-ADAQ7768-1	ZedBoard	Yes	No	No

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the EVAL-AD7768-1 / EVAL-ADAQ7768-1 boards connect 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.
