Quick start guide

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the EVALUATION BOARD boards on various FPGA development boards. In these guides, we will discuss how to program the bitstream, run a no-OS program or boot a Linux distribution.

Supported carriers

The EVALUATION BOARD, 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-AD9081	EVAL-AD9082
Arria 10 SoC	FMCA	—
FM87	FMCA	—
VCK190	FMCP1 (J51)	FMCP1 (J51)
VPK180	FMCP1	FMCP1
VCU118	FMC+	FMC+
ZC706	FMC HPC	FMC HPC
ZCU102	FMC HPC0	FMC HPC0

Supported environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
Arria 10 SoC	Yes	Yes	—
FM87	—	—	—
VCK190	Yes	Yes	Yes
VPK180	Yes	Yes	Yes
VCU118	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZC706	Yes	Yes	Yes
ZCU102	Yes	Yes	Yes

Hardware setup

On most carriers, the EVALUATION BOARD boards connects to the HPC1 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.
