CoraZ7-07S
This guide provides quick instructions on how to set up the EVAL-ADAQ40xx on:
Cora Z7S on PMOD connector
All the products described on this page include ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive devices. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000V readily accumulate on the human body or test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the boards feature ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high-energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality. This includes removing static charge on external equipment, cables, or antennas before connecting to the device.
Using Linux as software
Necessary files
Note
The SD card includes several folders in the root directory of the BOOT partition. In order to configure the SD card to work with a specific FPGA board and ADI hardware, several files must be copied onto the root directory. Using the host PC, drag and drop the required files onto the BOOT partition, and use the EJECT function when removing the SD card from the reader.
The following files are needed for the system to boot:
HDL boot image:
BOOT.BINLinux Kernel image:
uImageLinux device tree:
devicetree.dtb
They can either be taken from the SD card – already generated by us, or you can build them manually:
Instructions on how to choose the boot files from the SD card can be found in the Platform-Specific Manual Steps section from here: Hardware Configuration.
Instructions on how to manually build the boot files from source can be found here:
Build Zynq Linux kernel and devicetree (the only difference compared to the ZynqMP is that instead of running
make adi_zynqmp_defconfig, you must runmake zynq_xcomm_adv7511_defconfig)PULSAR-ADC HDL project build documentation. More HDL build details at Build an HDL project.
Important
Some projects provide multiple devicetree files in the SD card’s boot folders.
Make sure you select the devicetree that matches your specific use case
(e.g., zynq-coraz7s-ad7685-pmdz.dtb for the AD7685).
Required Software
SD 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)
Required Hardware
Cora Z7S FPGA board
EVAL-ADAQ40xx evaluation board (PMOD variant)
Class 10 16GB SD Card
Micro-USB cable (UART / Power)
LAN cable (Ethernet)
Signal generator
More details as to why you need these can be found at Prerequisites.
Testing
Creating the setup
EVAL-ADAQ40xx/CoraZ7-07S
In the following example, we will prepare the evaluation setup by connecting the EVAL-ADAQ40xx board to the CoraZ7-07S and applying a test input signal.
Follow the steps in this order, to avoid damaging the components:
Get the Cora Z7S
Configure CoraZ7-07S jumpers:
Jumper Location
Description
Shunt Placement
JP2
Selects how the CoraZ7-07S board boots. We want to boot from the microSD card.
Across Pins 1 & 2
JP3
Selects how the CoraZ7-07S board is powered. We are powering from the USB port.
Across Pins 3 & 2 (labeled USB)
Prepare the SD card:
Validate, Format, and Flash the SD Card following the Use Kuiper Image guide.
Insert the microSD card into the CoraZ7-07S card slot
Plug-in an Ethernet cable from your router/switch to the Ethernet port on the FPGA board
Info
If you don’t have a network available and want to stream data directly from the Ethernet port of the CoraZ7-07S to the Ethernet port of your PC, that is still possible, but requires some extra configuration. Set a static IP on the board and on your PC’s Ethernet adapter within the same subnet (e.g., board:
192.168.1.10, PC:192.168.1.1).Using the PMOD connector, plug the EVAL-ADAQ40xx on top of the CoraZ7-07S
Connect your signal source to the analog input connectors on the EVAL-ADAQ40xx
Connect the UART port of CoraZ7-07S to a PC via Micro-USB cable (DO NOT power on the device yet)
Power up the setup by plugging the Micro-USB cable into your PC’s USB port
Observe Kernel and serial console output messages on your terminal
Boot messages
The following is what is printed in the serial console, after you have connected to the proper ttyUSB or COM port:

Debian GNU/Linux 13 analog ttyPS0
analog login: root (automatic login)
Linux analog 6.12.0-27244-gc894bed472b7 #3 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 2 15:57:20 EEST 2026 armv7l
The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
Useful commands for the serial terminal
The below commands are to be run in the serial terminal connected to the FPGA.
Login Information
user: analog password: analog
To find out the IP of the FPGA board, run the following command and take the IP specified at “eth0 inet”:
~$
ifconfig
To see the IIO devices detected, run:
~$
iio_info | grep iio:device
iio:device0: xadc
iio:device1: adaq4003 (buffer capable)
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.
Scopy
Important
Make sure to download/update to the latest version of Scopy.
Scopy can be used to capture and analyze data from the PulSAR ADC evaluation board.
Once done with the installation or an update of the latest Scopy, open the application.
The user needs to supply a URI which will be used in the context creation. Use the IP address obtained from the
ifconfigcommand.Press
Refreshto display available IIO Devices and pressConnect.
After the board is connected and a channel is enabled, hit the play button. Then the data capture window can be seen.

Figure 4 Scopy data capture from PulSAR ADC on CoraZ7-07S (Channel 2)
IIO Oscilloscope
Important
Make sure to download/update to the latest version of IIO Oscilloscope.
Once done with the installation or an update of the latest IIO Oscilloscope, open the application. The user needs to supply a URI which will be used in the context creation of the IIO Oscilloscope.
Press
Refreshto display available IIO Devices and pressConnect.
After the board is connected and a channel is enabled, hit the play button. Then the data capture window can be seen like in the shown picture.
