Quick start

The Quick start guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do an initial system setup for the HMCAD1511-EBZ/HMCAD1520-EBZ 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 HMCAD1511-EBZ/HMCAD1520-EBZ, is, by definition a “FPGA mezzanine card” (FMC); that means it needs a carrier to plug into.

The carriers we support are listed below, as well as the FMC port where to connect the evaluation board:

FPGA board	HMCAD1520-EBZ	HMCAD1511-EBZ
ZedBoard	FMC	FMC

Supported Environments

The supported OS are:

FPGA board	HDL	Linux software	No-OS software
ZedBoard	Yes	Yes	—

Hardware Setup

On ZedBoard the board connects to the FMC connector. The carrier setup requires power, UART(115200), Ethernet (Linux), HDMI (optional). The typical setup is shown below.
