Quickstart

The Quick Start Guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD7768 / EVAL-AD7768-4 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-AD7768 / EVAL-AD7768-4, 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	EVAL-AD7768-4
ZedBoard	FMC LPC	FMC LPC

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

Eval Board	FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
EVAL-AD7768	ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	Yes
EVAL-AD7768-4	ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	No

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the EVAL-AD7768 / EVAL-AD7768-4 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.
