Quick start

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD9467 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.

Supported carriers

The EVAL-AD9467, is, by definition a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC); that means it needs a carrier to plug into.

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

FPGA board	EVAL-AD9467
ZedBoard	FMC LPC
ZCU102	FMC HPC0

Supported Environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
ZedBoard	Yes	Yes
ZCU102	Yes	Yes

Hardware Setup

The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet (Linux), HDMI (if available) and/or JTAG connections. A few typical setups are shown below.

ZedBoard + EVAL-AD9467

ZCU102 + EVAL-AD9467

Clock and analog input connections

The EVAL-AD9467 requires:

• Clock input (J201): 250 MHz clock signal - Can use transformer-coupled, crystal oscillator, or AD9517 clock generator - 50 Ω terminated, AC-coupled single-ended input

• Analog input: Configurable through ADL5565 differential amplifier - Multiple input coupling options available
