Quick start
The following steps highlight the process to begin using the EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ evaluation board with a controller board and the ACE software on a Windows PC.
Supported carriers
The EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ connects to a controller board via a 120-pin connector or alternatively, Arduino and Pmod connectors.

Hardware Setup
Warning
Ensure the SDP board is not connected to the USB port of the PC before connecting the evaluation board.
On most carriers, the EVAL-AD719X-ASDZ boards connect to the Arduino shield 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.
EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ + EVAL-SDP-CK1Z
Using the 120-pin connector: screw the two boards together using the plastic screw-washer set included in the evaluation board kit to ensure that the boards are connected firmly together.
Using the Arduino connectors:
EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ + EVAL-SDP-CB1Z
Using the 120-pin connector: screw the two boards together using the plastic screw-washer set included in the evaluation board kit to ensure that the boards are connected firmly together.
EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ + Cora Z7
Using the Pmod JA connector (default HDL configuration).
Using the Arduino shield connector (HDL built with
ARDZ_Pmod_N=1).
EVAL-AD719x-ASDZ + DE10-Nano
Using the Arduino shield connector.
Getting started
Once the hardware is set up, follow the Software guide for ACE plugin installation, operation, and demo modes.
