ZedBoard Quickstart
This guide provides quick instructions on how to set up the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ on:
ZedBoard FMC LPC
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.
Using Linux as software
Necessary files
Note
The SD card includes several folders in the root directory of the BOOT partition. In order to configure the SD card to work with a specific FPGA board and ADI hardware, several files must be copied onto the root directory. Using the host PC, drag and drop the required files onto the BOOT partition, and use the EJECT function when removing the SD card from the reader.
The following files are needed for the system to boot:
HDL boot image:
BOOT.BINLinux Kernel image:
uImageLinux device tree:
devicetree.dtb
They can either be taken from the SD card – already generated by us, or you can build them manually:
Instructions on how to choose the boot files from the SD card can be found in the Platform-Specific Manual Steps section from here: Hardware Configuration.
Instructions on how to manually build the boot files from source can be found here:
Linux kernel: Build Zynq Linux kernel and devicetree with
make zynq_xcomm_adv7511_defconfigHDL: ADA4355-FMC HDL project. More details at Build an HDL project.
Note
Make sure you select the devicetree that matches your specific use case.
Required Software
SD Card 16 GB imaged with Kuiper (check out that guide on how to do it, then come back to this section)
A UART terminal (PuTTY/Tera Term/Minicom, etc.) with baud rate 115200 (8N1)
Required Hardware
AMD Xilinx ZedBoard FPGA board and its power supply (12 V)
EVAL-ADA4356EBZ FMC evaluation board
SD card with at least 16 GB of memory
SMA cable to connect to the signal source
Micro-USB cable (UART)
LAN cable (Ethernet)
Function generator
More details as to why you need these can be found at Prerequisites.
Testing
Creating the setup
In the following example, we will prepare the evaluation setup by connecting the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ to the ZedBoard and applying a test input signal.
The EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation kit comes with a set of standoffs and screws that must be installed to secure the connection between the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ and the ZedBoard.
Follow the steps in this order, to avoid damaging the components:
Get the ZedBoard
Install the standoffs on the ZedBoard: locate the two drilled holes beside the FMC connector. From the bottom side, install a 6 mm screw through each hole into a 10 mm spacer on the top side.
On the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ, locate the board’s edge opposite to the FMC connector. Align one 20 mm spacer under each of the two drilled holes (screw side up) and fasten a 5 mm spacer from above.
Flip over the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ and remove the circular Kapton sticker covering part of the FMC connector before connecting the boards.
Configure ZedBoard for SD BOOT:
The BOOT switches (JP7-JP11) and the MIO0 jumper (JP6) must be set for SD card boot mode. VADJ (JP18) must be set to 2.5 V.
Insert the SD card into the SD Card Interface Connector (J12)
Connect the SMA cable from the function generator to J1 (BHCS input) on the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ. Do not enable the function generator’s output yet.
Plug the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ into the FMC LPC Connector and secure using the 20 mm spacers.
Plug the Power Supply into 12 V Power input connector (J20) (DO NOT turn the device on).
Plug-in an Ethernet cable from your router/switch to the Ethernet port on the FPGA board
Connect the UART port of ZedBoard (J14) to a PC via Micro-USB
Turn on the power switch (SW8) on the FPGA board. A green LED (LD13, POWER) lights up. A blue LED (LD12, DONE) lights up once boot is successful.
Observe kernel and serial console output messages on your terminal

The following is what is printed in the serial console, after you have connected to the proper ttyUSB or COM port:

the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the

Useful commands for the serial terminal
The below commands are to be run in the serial terminal connected to the FPGA.
Login Information
user: analog password: analog
To find out the IP of the FPGA board, run the following command and take the IP specified at “eth0 inet”:
~$
ifconfig
To see the IIO devices detected, run:
~$
iio_info | grep iio:device
iio:device0: ada4355 (buffer capable)
To power off the system, run the following command, and wait for the final message to be printed, then power off the FPGA board from the switch as well.
~$
poweroff
To reboot the system, run:
~$
reboot
Important
Even though this is Linux, this is a persistent file system. Care
should be taken not to corrupt the file system – please shut down
things, don’t just turn off the power switch. Depending on your
monitor, the standard power off could be hiding. You can do this
from the terminal as well with sudo shutdown -h now or
the above-mentioned command for powering off.
Scopy
Important
Make sure to download/update to the latest version of Scopy.
Scopy can be used to visualize the data captured from the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ evaluation board.
Configure the function generator with the following parameters:
Signal type: Sine wave
Frequency: 200 KHz
Amplitude: 2.5 V
DC Offset: 1.1 V
Output Load: HiZ
Connect the output of the function generator to J1 of the EVAL-ADA4356EBZ, which is the SMA input for the BHCS.
Toggle the function generator’s output to ON.
In Scopy, connect to the board and open the data capture view.
IIO Oscilloscope
Important
Make sure to download/update to the latest version of IIO Oscilloscope.
Once done with the installation or an update of the latest IIO Oscilloscope, open the application. The user needs to supply a URI which will be used in the context creation of the IIO Oscilloscope.
Press
Refreshto display available IIO Devices and pressConnect.
After the board is connected and a channel is enabled, hit the play button. Then the data capture window can be seen like in the shown picture.
