Warning
When using A10SoC in your setup, the following reworks are required on the evaluation board:
To avoid using an external clock source and fully rely on the HMC7044 clock chip, rotate the C6D/C4D caps in C5D/C3D position (Please note: In the latest version of the board, this is now the default configuration, so this configuration step might not be needed anymore).
If LEDS V1P0_LED and VINT_LED are not on, please depopulate R22M and populate R2M
For the carrier, A10SoC, the following reworks are mandatory: FMC Pin Connection Configuration
Power supply
The power supply comes from the FMC connector, given by the FPGA.
The VADJ values can be checked out in the README.md file of each combination with an FPGA, at: projects/ad9081_fmca_ebz.
