ADRV9001 EVALUATION SYSTEM
The ADRV9001 family demonstration system enables customers to evaluate the device without having to develop custom software or
hardware. The system is comprised of a radio daughtercard, an Xilinx ZYNQ ZC706 motherboard* or a Xilinx ZCU102 motherboard, an
SD card with operating system, a 12 V power supply for the ZYNQ ZC706 or ZCU102 that connects to a wall outlet, and a C#-based
evaluation software application. The evaluation system uses an Ethernet interface to communicate with the PC.
INITIAL SETUP
The ADRV9001 transceiver evaluation software (TES) is the graphical user interface (GUI) to communicate with the evaluation platform.
It can run with or without evaluation hardware connected. When TES runs without the hardware connected, it can be fully configured for
a particular operating mode. If the evaluation hardware is connected, set up the desired operating parameters with TES and then the
software can program the evaluation hardware. After the device is configured, the evaluation software can be used to transmit waveforms
using custom waveform files as well as observe signals received on one of the receiver input ports. An initialization sequence in form of an
IronPython script can be generated and executed using TES.
HARDWARE KIT
The ADRV9001 demonstration system kit contains:
•
The customer evaluation (CE) board in form of a daughter card with FMC connector
•
One (1) SD card containing image of Linux operating system with required evaluation software
•
SD card type is 16 GB size, type 10
Requirements
The hardware and software require the following:
•
The ADRV9001 demonstration system kit
•
A Xilinx ZC706 ZYNQ (EK-Z7-ZC706) or Xilinx ZCU102 evaluation platform (Xilinx platforms not included in the ADRV9001
demonstration kit)*
•
One (1) 12 V power supply for powering the Xilinx Platform.
•
The operating system on the controlling PC must be Windows® 7 (×86 and ×64) or Windows 10 (×86 and ×64)
•
The PC must have a free Ethernet port with the following constraints:
•
If the Ethernet port is occupied by another LAN connection, use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter
•
The PC should be able to access over this dedicated Ethernet connection the following ports:
•
22—SSH protocol
•
55557—access to the evaluation software on the Xilinx Platform
•
TES—contact your ADI representative to obtain access to this software
•
The user must have administrative privileges
SD Card Imaging
To image the SD card properly for use in either the Xilinx Platform you will need to download the ADRV9001 Disk Imaging Utility and
the dotNet Disk Imager. These can be found on the Engineer Zone support forum for the TES GUI & Software Support. Follow the
instructions and make sure to check if there is any encryption when writing to an SD card that will prevent the FPGA from reading the
card.
Hardware Setup ZYNQ ZC706
Xilinx ZYNQ ZC706 platform setup requires the following steps:
1.
All jumpers are in the positions shown in Figure 269.
2.
SW11 is in position as shown in Figure 269(1, 2, 5 = A position)
3.
The SD card included with the evaluation kit is placed in the J3 slot of the ZYNQ platform
The evaluation hardware setup is shown in Figure 270.
*All variants of the ZC706 eval kit should be suitable to demonstrate performance of the ADRV9001. Analog Devices does not guarantee that
all future versions and derivatives of the ZC706 will work with the ADRV9001 daughter card and ADRV9001 TES to demonstrate
ADRV9001 performance. However, as of the date of the current release of this User Guide, there are no known incompatibilities with any
versions and derivatives of the ZC706. For example, the following versions have been successfully used for evaluation purposes: EK-Z7-
ZC706-G, EVAL-TPG-ZYNQ3
