ZedBoard Quick start
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.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up the EVAL-AD7770-AD7779 on:
ZedBoard on the FMC LPC connector
Using Linux as software
Necessary files
The following files are needed to boot the system:
BOOT.BIN- pre-built boot binary for the EVAL-AD777x on ZedBoarduImage- Linux kernel imagedevicetree.dtb- device tree blob for the ZedBoard + EVAL-AD777x
These files are available as part of the ADI Kuiper Linux image. They replace the corresponding files on the FAT boot partition of a Kuiper Linux SD card. See Prerequisites for details.
Note
To build these files from source instead of using the pre-built downloads, build the HDL project with:
~$
cd hdl/projects/ad777x_fmcz/zed
~/hdl/projects/ad777x_fmcz/zed$
make
Full build instructions are at Build an HDL project.
Required software
A UART terminal (e.g. PuTTY, Tera Term, Minicom) at 115200 baud (8N1)
Using Kuiper Images - for flashing the root filesystem to the SD card
Required hardware
ZedBoard FPGA board and its power supply
EVAL-AD7770-AD7779 evaluation board
Micro-SD card (16 GB or larger)
Micro-USB cable (for UART)
Ethernet cable connected to a router or switch
Testing
Creating the setup
Follow the steps below in order to avoid damaging the components:
Prepare the SD card:
Flash the Kuiper Linux image to the SD card. See Using Kuiper Images for instructions.
After flashing, mount the FAT boot partition and replace the
BOOT.BIN,uImage, anddevicetree.dtb.Safely unmount and eject the SD card.
Configure the ZedBoard for SD card boot mode and set the VADJ voltage as shown in the figure below:
Figure 3 ZedBoard VADJ and SD boot mode jumper configuration
Insert the EVAL-AD7770-AD7779 evaluation board into the FMC LPC connector on the ZedBoard.
Insert the prepared SD card into the ZedBoard SD slot.
Connect the Micro-USB cable to the UART port on the ZedBoard and open a terminal at 115200 baud, 8N1.
Connect an Ethernet cable from your router or switch to the ZedBoard Ethernet port.
Power on the ZedBoard.
Observe boot messages on the serial terminal.
Boot messages
Once powered on, U-Boot loads the kernel image and device tree from the SD card, then boots into Kuiper Linux. The complete boot sequence is shown below.

Useful commands
The below commands are to be run in the serial terminal connected to the ZedBoard.
To find out the IP address of the board, run:
~$
ifconfig
Take the IP address shown for eth0 inet.
To find the IIO devices detected, run:
~$
iio_info | grep iio:device
To power off the system cleanly, run the following command and wait for the final message before switching off the board:
~$
poweroff
Important
The Kuiper Linux root filesystem is mounted from the ext4 partition of the SD card. Changes made at runtime are persistent across reboots. To restart the system, power cycle the ZedBoard.
IIO Oscilloscope
IIO Oscilloscope is a cross-platform GUI application that can connect to the board remotely over the network and capture data from IIO devices.
Note
Connect an analog signal to the evaluation board’s input channels before capturing data. The captures below used a DC reference signal applied to one channel to verify baseline operation.
To connect, open IIO Oscilloscope on the host PC, go to Settings,
Connect, check the Manual option, and enter the URI using the board
IP address obtained from ifconfig:
ip:<board-ip>
Press Refresh to list the available IIO devices, then press Connect.
Once connected, select the AD777X device and use the Capture window to acquire and display ADC samples.
