Quick start guides

The Quick start guides provide simple step-by-step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the ADV7511 HDMI transmitter on various FPGA evaluation boards. In these guides, we will discuss how to program the bitstream, run a no-OS program, or boot a Linux distribution (for Zynq platforms).

Supported carriers

The ADV7511 HDMI transmitter is integrated on-board the following Xilinx FPGA evaluation platforms:

FPGA board	FPGA Family	ADV7511 Location
ZC702	Zynq-7000 SoC	On-board
ZC706	Zynq-7000 SoC	On-board
ZedBoard	Zynq-7000 SoC	On-board

Note

The following carriers are last supported only in the hdl_2017_r1 release: AC701 (Artix-7), KC705 (Kintex-7), and VC707 (Virtex-7).

Supported Environments

The supported OS and software environments are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
ZC702	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZC706	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	Yes

Note

The AC701, KC705, and VC707 carriers are last supported only in the hdl_2017_r1 release with no-OS software only.

Hardware setup

The ADV7511 is integrated on-board each evaluation platform, so no FMC card connection is required. The basic setup requires:

• Power supply for the FPGA board

• UART connection (115200 baud, 8N1) for serial console

• HDMI cable connected to a monitor

• For Zynq boards running Linux: Ethernet connection, HDMI monitor, USB keyboard/mouse (optional)

• For FPGA-only boards: JTAG connection for programming
