Quickstart

The Quick Start Guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD9265 board.

FPGA-based evaluation

Use these guides when evaluating with an FPGA carrier board. They cover bitstream programming, no-OS programs and Linux boot.

Supported carriers

The EVAL-AD9265 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-AD9265
ZC706	FMC LPC
ZedBoard	FMC LPC

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

Eval Board	FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
EVAL-AD9265	ZC706	Yes	Yes	Yes
EVAL-AD9265	ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	No

Hardware setup

On all carriers, the EVAL-AD9265 board connects to the FMC LPC connector. The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet (Linux), and/or JTAG (no-OS) connections. A few typical setups are shown below.
