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*, an SD card with operating system, a
12 V power supply for the ZYNQ ZC706 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
• The Xilinx ZC706 ZYNQ evaluation platform: EK-Z7-ZC706 (not included in the ADRV9001 demonstration kit)*
• One (1) 12 V power supply for powering the ZC706 ZYNQ.
• 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 ZYNQ ZC706 platform
• TES—contact your ADI representative to obtain access to this software
• The user must have administrative privileges
Hardware Setup
Xilinx ZC706 ZYNQ platform setup requires the following steps:
1. All jumpers are in the positions shown in Figure 236.
2. SW11 is in position as shown in Figure 236 (1, 2, 5 = A position)
3. The SD card included with the evaluation kit is placed in the J30 slot of the ZYNQ platform
The evaluation hardware setup is shown in Figure 237.
*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
