Quick start

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-ADRV903x boards 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-ADRV903x, 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-ADRV9032

EVAL-ADRV9032R

ZCU102

FMC HPC1

FMC HPC1

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-ADRV903x boards connects to the HPC1 connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet (Linux), HDMI (if available) and/or JTAG (no-OS) connections. A few typical setups are shown below.

ZCU102 + EVAL-ADRV9032

The EVAL-ADRV9032 evaluation board connects to the FMC HPC1 connector on the ZCU102. Typical hardware setup includes:

  • Power supply for ZCU102

  • FMC connection between EVAL-ADRV9032 and ZCU102 HPC1

  • UART connection (115200 baud)

  • Ethernet connection for Linux networking

  • HDMI connection to monitor (optional)

  • SD card with boot files and Linux distribution
