KCU1250 IBERT Getting Started Guide
When shipped, the KCU1250 board is configured to support the GTH IBERT demonstrations
described in this document. If the board has been re-configured, it must be returned to the
default setup before running the IBERT demonstrations by following these steps:
1. Move all jumpers and switches to their default positions. The default jumper and switch
positions are listed in the
KCU1250 Board User Guide
(UG1057)
[Ref 1]
.
2. Confirm that the UltraScale transceiver power module is plugged into connectors J124
and J46.
3. Confirm that the SuperClock-2 module
is installed. See
HW-CLK-101-SCLK2 SuperClock-2
Module User Guide
(UG770)
[Ref 2]
:
a. Align the three metal standoffs on the bottom side of the module with the three
mounting holes in the SUPERCLOCK-2 MODULE interface of the KCU1250 board.
b. Using three 4-40 x 0.25 inch screws, firmly screw down the module from the bottom
of the KCU1250 board.
c. On the SuperClock-2 module, place a jumper across pins 2–3 (2V5) of the CONTROL
VOLTAGE header, J18, and place another jumper across Si570 INH header J11.
d. Screw down a 50
Ω
SMA terminator onto each of the six unused Si5368 clock output
SMA connectors: J7, J8, J12, J15, J16 and J17.
Extracting the Project Files
The Vivado Design Suite BIT files required to run the IBERT demonstrations are located in
rdf0352-kcu1250-ibert-2017-4.zip
on the SD card provided with the KCU1250
board. The BIT files are also available online at
Kintex UltraScale FPGA KCU1250
Characterization Kit documentation
.
The ZIP file contains these BIT files:
•
kcu1250_ibert_q224_125.bit
•
kcu1250_ibert_q225_125.bit
•
kcu1250_ibert_q226_125.bit
•
kcu1250_ibert_q227_125.bit
•
kcu1250_ibert_q228_125.bit
To copy the files from the SD card:
1. Connect the SD card to the host computer.
2. Locate the file
rdf0352-kcu1250-ibert-2017-4.zip
on the SD card.
3. Unzip the files to a working directory on the host computer.
