UG1058 (v2017.1) April 19, 2017

www.xilinx.com

Chapter 2:

Setup

• Java SE Runtime Environment 7
• Ethernet Controller application GUI (included with the 10GBASE-KR TRD)
• 10GBASE-KR Ethernet targeted reference design files

Download and installation instructions for each required software application and for the

10GBASE-KR Ethernet targeted reference design files are described in

Preliminary Setup

Preliminary Setup

Complete these tasks before bringing up the design described in

Chapter 3, Bringing Up

the Design

Install Vivado Design Suite

Install Vivado Design Suite 2017.1 on the control computer. Follow the installation

instructions provided in

Vivado Design Suite User Guide Release Notes, Installation, and

Licensing

(UG973)

[Ref 8]

Note:

Snapshots of the Vivado integrated design environment (IDE) in this document are from an

older version of Vivado tools, but the text and fields are still relevant to the current version.

Download Targeted Reference Design Files

1. Download the 10GBASE-R TRD ZIP file

rdf0310-kcu1250-trd05-2017-1.zip

from

KCU1250 Characterization Kit Documentation.

2. Unzip the contents of the file to a working directory.

3. The unzipped contents will be located at

<working_dir>/kcu1250_10gbasekr_trd

The 10GBASE-KR TRD directory structure is described in

Appendix A, Directory Structure

Install the USB UART Drivers

Download the

CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP drivers

(for Windows 7) from

Silicon Labs

Follow the instructions in
