CoraZ7S Quick start
This guide provides some quick instructions on how to setup the EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ on:
Cora Z7S Pmod JA connector (default) or Arduino shield connector
Using Linux as software
Necessary files
The following files are needed for the system to boot:
HDL boot image:
BOOT.BINLinux Kernel image:
uImageLinux device tree:
devicetree.dtbuEnv.txtboot.scr(optional)
They can either be taken from the SD card – already generated by us, or you can build them manually.
In the following sections, we explain how to take them from the SD card.
Instructions on how to manually build the boot files from source can be found here:
AD719X-ASDZ HDL project build documentation. More HDL build details at Build an HDL project.
An abridged version of how to build the device tree and kernel image for the EVAL-AD719x is provided below.
Get the latest version of the ARM GNU Toolchain from Arm GNU Toolchain Downloads and extract it to a convenient location (e.g. your home directory).
On Ubuntu, some development packages may be required:
~$
sudo apt-get install fakeroot build-essential devscripts libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
Clone the ADI Linux repository:
~$
git clone https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/linux.git
~$
cd linux
Configure the kernel:
~$
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/arm-gnu-toolchain-15.2.rel1-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf- zynq_xcomm_adv7511_defconfig
Build the device tree:
~$
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/arm-gnu-toolchain-15.2.rel1-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf- xilinx/zynq-coraz7s-ad7195.dtb
Build the kernel image:
~$
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/arm-gnu-toolchain-15.2.rel1-x86_64-arm-none-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabihf- UIMAGE_LOADADDR=0x8000 uImage
Copy
arch/arm/boot/dts/xilinx/zynq-coraz7s-ad7195.dtbto the root of the SD card’s BOOT partition and rename it todevicetree.dtb.Copy
arch/arm/boot/uImageto the root of the SD card’s BOOT partition.
Required Software
SD Card 16GB imaged with Kuiper Linux
An UART terminal (Putty/Tera Term/Minicom, etc.) with baud rate 115200 (8N1)
Required Hardware
One of the EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ evaluation boards
Micro SD card with at least 16GB
Micro USB to USB Type A cable (UART / power)
LAN cable (Ethernet)
Testing
Creating the setup
All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.
Follow the steps in this order, to avoid damaging the components:
Configure the CoraZ7S jumpers:
Jumper Location
Description
Shunt Placement
JP2
Selects how the CoraZ7-07s board boots. We want to boot from the microSD card.
Across Pins 1 & 2
JP3
Selects how the CoraZ7-07s board is powered. We are powering from the USB port.
Across Pins 3 & 2 (labeled USB)
Connect the EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ to the CoraZ7S using one of the following configurations:
Pmod JA connector (default HDL configuration):
Arduino shield connector (HDL built with
ARDZ_Pmod_N=1). See the AD719X-ASDZ HDL project project for details.
Insert the SD card with ADI Kuiper image into the microSD card slot on the CoraZ7S
Connect USB UART (Micro USB) to your host PC
Connect an Ethernet cable to the CoraZ7S and to your network
Power up the setup via the USB connection
Info
If you don’t have a network available and want to stream data directly from the Ethernet port of the CoraZ7S to the Ethernet port of your PC, that is still possible, but requires some extra configuration. Please see the Network Configuration page for complete details.
CoraZ7S SD card boot files
The files that need to be present on the SD card BOOT partition are:
BOOT.BINuImagedevicetree.dtbuEnv.txt(found inBOOT/zynq-common/on the SD card)boot.scr(optional)
Setting up UART
A driver for the board should automatically be detected and installed on your PC. If this does not happen, you may need to manually install the driver. Here is a link to the UART Serial Driver.
Using your Device Manager, locate the COM port assigned to the CoraZ7S board.
Open PuTTY, Tera Term, or another serial terminal program and open a terminal to the COM port of the CoraZ7S by setting the baud rate to 115200, then connect.
The serial terminal connection will auto-login and place you in the root directory of the SD card.
Boot messages
The following is what is printed in the serial console, after you have connected to the proper ttyUSB or COM port:

Useful commands for the serial terminal
The below commands are to be run in the serial terminal connected to the board.
To find out the IP of the board, run the following command and take the IP specified at “eth0 inet”:
~$
ifconfig
To see the IIO devices detected, run:
~$
iio_info | grep iio:device
iio:device0: ad7195 (buffer capable)
iio:device1: xadc
To power off the system, run the following command, and wait for the final message to be printed, then power off the board from the switch as well.
~$
poweroff
To reboot the system, run:
~$
reboot
Important
Even thought this is Linux, this is a persistent file systems. Care should be
taken not to corrupt the file system – please shut down things, don’t just
turn off the power switch. Depending on your monitor, the standard power off
could be hiding. You can do this from the terminal as well with
sudo shutdown -h now or the above-mentioned command for powering off.
Using the System with IIO Oscilloscope
The IIO Oscilloscope is a cross-platform application for interfacing with IIO devices, enabling you to configure device parameters and visualize data.
Important
Make sure to download/update to the latest version of IIO Oscilloscope.
Remote run on host
The IIO Oscilloscope application can be used from a host PC to connect to the board over the network, configure the device, and read data.
Build and start osc on a network-enabled Linux host. For Windows
computers, open the application from the start menu.
Once the application is launched, go to Settings > Connect > URI
and type ip: followed by the IP address of the board. This IP can
be found with the ifconfig command from the serial terminal.
Please see IIO Oscilloscope documentation for installation steps and more details.
Locally run on the board
If you have a display connected to the board (via VNC), you can run IIO
Oscilloscope directly on the board. Open a terminal and launch osc,
or find it in the application menu. It will automatically connect to the
local IIO devices.
Warning
Capturing data from more than a single channel at a time will result in an immediate timeout. This is a known issue currently under investigation. For now, enable only one channel at a time when performing captures.

Frequency Domain Plot
Note
Max 4096 samples can be selected for plotting frequency domain response due to limited buffer size in the firmware.
