Quickstart

The Quick Start Guides provide a simple step by step instruction on how to do an initial system setup for the PulSAR ADC evaluation 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 carriers we support are:

• ZedBoard on FMC connector (for EVAL-AD400x-FMCZ)

• Cora Z7S on PMOD connector (for EVAL-ADAQ40xx)

Supported Environments

The supported OS are:

Board	HDL	Linux Software	No-OS Software
ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	Yes
Cora Z7S	Yes	Yes	No

Hardware Setup

The PulSAR ADC evaluation boards connect to the FMC or PMOD connector (depending on the variant). 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.
