Quick Start

The Quick Start Guides provide simple step-by-step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD9081, EVAL-AD9082, EVAL-AD9986, or EVAL-AD9988 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 EVAL-AD9081, EVAL-AD9082, EVAL-AD9986, and EVAL-AD9988 are, by definition, “FPGA mezzanine cards” (FMC), which means they need a carrier to plug into. The carriers we support are:

Board	EVAL-AD9081*	EVAL-AD9082*	EVAL-AD9986*	EVAL-AD9988*
VCK190	FMCP1	FMCP1	FMCP1	FMCP1

Note

* only the RX path is used.

Supported Environments

The supported environments are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
VCK190	Yes	Yes	—

Hardware Setup

In most carriers, the EVAL-AD9081, EVAL-AD9082, EVAL-AD9986, or EVAL-AD9988 boards connect to the FMCP1 connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), ethernet (Linux), and HDMI (if available). A few typical setups are shown below.
