Programing the FPGA
Complete the following steps to program the FPGA:
1. Open the Xilinx Vivado 2016.3 design tool.
2. Double click on “Open Hardware Manager”.
3. Click on “Open Target” (located on the green bar), and select “Open New Target" (also at Tools
→
Open New Target).
4. Click on “Next” twice. Select the Hardware Target, and click “Next” again.
5. Click on “Finish”.
6. Click on “Program device” (located on the green bar). Select "xcku040_0" (also at Tools

device).
7. Select the proper bit stream file. The firmware is found in:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas
Instruments\High Speed Data Converter Pro\KCU105 Details\Firmware\KCU105_TI_DHCP.bit"
.
NOTE:
If there is an error regarding ASCII characters, drag the bit file to the desktop and target the
file there.
8. Click on “Program.”
9. A new window will open showing the status of the programming. Once this reaches 100%, the FPGA is
programmed. Make sure the calibration passes and that there are no errors.
Vivado 2016.3 should look similar to
after programming the KCU105 correctly.
