Quick Start

The following guides provide step-by-step instructions for an initial system setup of the AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ on various FPGA development boards. They cover bitstream loading, booting a Linux distribution, and launching the IIO Oscilloscope for RF waveform capture and playback.

Supported carriers

The AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ connects to a carrier board via two adjacent FMC connectors.

Carrier board	Connector
ZC706	Dual FMC (HPC)
ZC702	Dual FMC (LPC)
ZCU102	Dual FMC (HPC)

Supported environments

Carrier board	HDL	Linux	No-OS
ZC706	Yes	Yes	—
ZC702	Yes	Yes	—
ZCU102	Yes	Yes	—

Hardware setup

AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ + ZC706

AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ + ZC702

AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ + ZCU102

Warning

The ZCU102 requires two FMC spacers to accommodate the AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ. Ensure the spacers are installed before connecting the board.
