Quickstart

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD9083 board 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-AD9083, is, by definition a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC); that means it needs a carrier to plug into.

The carriers we support are listed below, as well as the FMC port where to connect the evaluation board:

FPGA board	EVAL-AD9083
ZCU102	FMC HPC0

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
ZCU102	Yes	Yes	Yes

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the EVAL-AD9083 board connects to the HPC0 connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet (Linux), HDMI (if available) and/or JTAG (no-OS) connections.
