Quickstart

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVAL-AD-FMCOMMS8-EBZ board on various FPGA development boards. In these guides, we will discuss how to program the bitstream and boot a Linux distribution.

Supported carriers

The EVAL-AD-FMCOMMS8-EBZ is, by definition, a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC); that means it needs a carrier to plug into.

The carriers we support are:

FPGA board	Eval board	FMC port
ADRV9009-ZU11EG + ADRV2CRR-FMC	AD-FMCOMMS8-EBZ	FMC HPC
ZCU102	AD-FMCOMMS8-EBZ	FMC HPC0
Arria10 SoC Development Kit	AD-FMCOMMS8-EBZ	FMC HPC (rework required)

Supported environments

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
ADRV9009-ZU11EG + ADRV2CRR-FMC	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZCU102	Yes	Yes	Yes
Arria10 SoC Development Kit	Yes	Yes	No

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the EVAL-AD-FMCOMMS8-EBZ connects to the HPC connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet, optionally DisplayPort connections and/or JTAG connections. A few typical setups are shown below.

ADRV9009-ZU11EG + ADRV2CRR-FMC + AD-FMCOMMS8-EBZ
