https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/arria10soc.jpg

Required Hardware

  • Arria 10 SoC (Rev. C or later) FPGA board and its power supply

  • EVAL-CN0506-FMCZ FMC evaluation board

  • SD Card 16 GB or higher

  • Mini USB Cable

  • Ethernet Cable

  • (Optional) USB keyboard & mouse and a HDMI compatible monitor

Required Software

  • microSD Card 16GB 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)

  • iPerf3

Necessary Files

They can either be taken from the SD card – already generated by us, or you can build them manually.

In the following sections, we explain how to take them from the SD card.

The following files are needed for the system to boot and should be moved to the root of the SD Card partition:

  • Files from socfpga_arria10_socdk_cn0506_mii

    • HDL boot image: fit_spl_fpga.itb

    • Linux device tree: socfpga_arria10_socdk_sdmmc.dtb

    • U-Boot image: u-boot.img

    • Write u-boot-splx4.sfp from socfpga_arria10_socdk_cn0506_mii folder on third SD Card partition:

  • Files from socfpga_arria10_common

    • Linux Kernel image: zImage

    • Move extlinux.conf in the extlinux folder in the root of the SD Card partition (if it doesn’t exist you should create it)

A10Soc Required Hardware Changes

Warning

The following rework is required on the A10SoC FPGA:

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.

In the default configuration of the Arria10 SoC Development Kit, some of the FMC header pins are connected to a dedicated clock chip. To be compatible with the EVAL-CN0506-FMCZ, these pins need to be connected directly to the FPGA.

The connection of those pins can be changed by moving the position of four zero Ohm resistors:

  • R612 to R610

  • R613 to R611

  • R621 to R620

  • R633 to R632

These resistors can be found on the backside of the A10SoC, underneath the FMCA connector (J29). The following picture shows the required configuration to be compatible with the EVAL-CN0506-FMCZ.

Testing

Creating the setup

https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/a10soc_setup_cn0506.jpeg

Follow the steps in this order, to avoid damaging the components:

  1. Both the HPS (J26) and FPGA (J27) memory module must be installed on the A10SoC

  2. Connect the EVAL-CN0506-FMCZ FMC board to the A10SOC HPC1 FMCA (J29) socket

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/a10soc_cn0506.jpeg

  3. Insert microSD card into the card socket on the FPGA

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/a10soc_sdcard.jpeg

  4. Configure the FPGA for SD card boot mode. You can find the default position here

  5. Plug-in an Ethernet cable from your router/switch to whichever Ethernet port you prefer on the EVAL-CN0506-FMCZ

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/a10soc_eth.jpeg

  6. Connect USB UART1 (J10) to your host PC using the Mini USB cable

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/a10soc_usb.jpeg

  7. (Optional) Connect a monitor to the FPGA by HDMI, and a mouse and a keyboard

  8. Connect the power supply for the FPGA

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/a10soc_power.jpeg

  9. Open your preferred UART terminal and connect to the correct COM Port. You can find out which port to connect to by going to Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) and looking for ‘USB Serial Device’. If you have multiple devices, try disconnecting the USB cable from your PC and see which port disappears. After plugging it back in remember the COM number.

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/dev_manager.png

  10. Set the baud rate to 115200.

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/putty.png

  11. Now you can turn on the board by flipping the power switch, and also start your serial connection from your PC. You should see some boot messages like these ones:

Useful commands

The commands below can be run in the serial terminal connected to the FPGA. They will help you learn more about the system you are using.

  • To find out the IP of the FPGA board, run the following command and take the IP specified at “eth0 inet” or “eth1 inet” (depending on which of the two Ethernet ports on the EVAL-CN0506-FMCZ you connected to):

    ~$

    ifconfig

    After finding out the IP address of your board, you can also connect to it through SSH from another computer on the same network using the command:

    ~$

    ssh analog@<board_ip_address>

  • To see the IIO devices detected, run:

    ~$

    iio_info | grep iio:device

  • 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.

Performing iPerf3

  1. Make sure you have installed your favorite terminal emulator (in this case, TeraTerm) on your Host PC.

  2. Connect the UART USB Cable connection from A10SoC to your Host PC. Your Host PC should have a CP2103 USB to UART Bridge Controller driver installed or up to date. This is important so your PC can communicate with the FPGA board.

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/1_uart_installation.png

  3. Connect an Ethernet Cable connection from CN0506 M1 to your Ethernet-capable Host PC. Make sure the Host PC is also connected to the Internet using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/pc_connect.jpg

  4. Bridge network connections so we can install necessary tools such as iPerf3 for A10SoC through the Internet. Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections. To create a Network Bridge between your Wi-Fi/Ethernet Internet and CN0506 Ethernet, select the two network connections, right-click, and select “Bridge Connections.”

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/2_bridge_installation.png

  5. Launch TeraTerm and make a new serial connection with the designated COM port. Click Serial, choose the correct COM port number, then click OK.

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/3_tera_term_serial.png

  6. Change the baud rate from 9600 to 115200. Go to Setup > Serial Port… A dialog box will pop up and then change the Speed to 115200. Click “New setting.”

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/4_serial_config.png https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/5_serial_config_baud_115200.png

  7. Install iPerf3 on your Linux machine. Enter in the terminal line, then write and enter

    apt-get install iperf3
    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/6_aptget_install_iperf3.png

  8. The performance test will also require your Host PC to be the iPerf3 server and the carrier is the client. The server should be run first before the client. Install iPerf3 on your Host PC. Go to the Downloads page and download the necessary files depending on your Host PC.

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/7_windows_download_iperf3.png

  9. Open your Host PC’s terminal (e.g. Windows PowerShell) and navigate through the iPerf3 directory.

    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/8_ms_powershell.png

  10. Get the IP address of the connected Ethernet port of your Host PC using the command: “ipconfig”. Take note of the IP address of the connected Ethernet cable because this will vary from time to time. In this case, we have the IP address 169.254.6.62 of “Ethernet adapter Ethernet” which corresponds to your Host PC’s Ethernet port.

    ipconfig
    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/9_ipconfig.png

  11. In your UART terminal (TeraTerm), get the IP address of the connected Ethernet port of CN0506. Use the command “ip addr”. Take note of the IP address of the connected Ethernet cable because this will vary from time to time. In this case, we have the IP address 169.254.7.196 of “eth1” which corresponds to the M1 Ethernet port of CN0506.

    ip addr
    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/10_ipaddr.png

  12. In your Host PC’s terminal. run the iperf3 as the server. In this case of Windows PowerShell, use the command:

    .\iperf3.exe -s -B 169.254.6.62
    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/11_iperf_exe_b.png

    This will run the iperf3 from the PC as the server (-s) and bound to its Ethernet port having the address 169.254.6.62. It is acceptable to keep the server running since this will wait for connections from the client.

  13. In your UART terminal (TeraTerm), you will need to run the iperf3 client for each Ethernet port so you can verify its performance by using “iperf3 -c <IP address of server> -B <IP address of client>. Enter the following commands:

    iperf3 -c 169.254.6.62 -B 169.254.7.196
    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/12_performance_run_b_s.png

  14. Use the command “-R” to reverse the direction of the performance test.

    iperf3 -c 169.254.6.62 -B 169.254.7.196 -R
    https://media.githubusercontent.com/media/analogdevicesinc/documentation/main/docs/solutions/reference-designs/eval-cn0506-fmcz/images/performance_run_b_s_r.png
