Quickstart

The Quick Start Guides provide a simple step by step instruction on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD-FMCOMMS2 / EVAL-AD-FMCOMMS3 / EVAL-AD-FMCOMMS4 boards on various FPGA development boards. They will discuss how to program the bitstream, run a no-OS program or boot a Linux distribution.

Supported carriers

The AD-FMCOMMS2/3/4-EBZ is, by definition a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC), that means it needs a carrier to plug into. The carriers we support are:

Board	FMCOMMS2/3/4
KC705 *	FMC LPC
KCU105	FMC LPC
VC707 *	FMC1 HPC
ZC702	FMC1 LPC
ZC706	FMC LPC
ZCU102	FMC HPC0
ZedBoard	FMC LPC

Note

Support for boards marked with an asterisk (*) was discontinued after the hdl_2023_r2 release.

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

Board	HDL	Linux Software	No-OS Software
KC705 *	Yes	Yes	Yes
KCU105	Yes	Yes	Yes
VC707 *	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZC702	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZC706	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZCU102	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	Yes

Note

Support for boards marked with an asterisk (*) was discontinued after the hdl_2023_r2 release, including in the no-OS repository.

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the AD-FMCOMMS2/3/4-EBZ board connects to the LPC 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.

ZC702 + FMCOMMS2

Early versions of the ZC702 carriers need to work around AR# 51438, PG signal does not assert by default errata.
