EVAL-SDP-CH1Z board (Mouser or Digikey don't have)

Hi Douglas,

The component shortage had an impact on the supply of the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z. That supply constraint is now resolved but there is a backlog of demand to address. They will be come generally available again but I'm afraid I don't have any visibility on how many weeks/months that will take. Do you (or anyone at your company) have any customer-facing Analog Devices contacts? Perhaps they could assist in (accelerate) sourcing an EVAL-SDP-CH1Z?

Regards,

David

Hi David,

Due to the delay in delivery of the EVAL-SDP-CH1Z (25 September 2023), we would like to test the EVAL-AD9117 via the AD-DAC-FMC interface to our MCU XU3 ultrascale. We are having trouble communicating with the EVAL-AD9117 via the AD971x/AD911x Evaluation Board SPI Controller, with the error message 'No USB devices found!'.

Can you please confirm AD971x/AD911x Evaluation Board SPI Controller only via DPG2 board? 

Hi Douglas,

I'll need to confer with applications engineers for the AD971x/AD911x. 

Hi Douglas, I have asked for AD9117 specific help.

I do not think you will be able to use the standard evaluation software without the SDP-H1. In fact, the current evaluation software for the AD971x/AD911x looks to be ACE based, whereas the SPI controller that you have is LabView based. I think you will definitely need somebody with AD971x/AD911x experience to help here.

It is possible to prototype with the EVAL-AD9117 using an alternative FPGA, but the PIC on EVAL-AD9117 needs to be be reprogrammed and you would need to port the Xilinx ML-605 based example to your Ultrascale. Here is the ML-605 example - AD971x/AD911x-DPG2 FMC Interposer & Evaluation Board / Xilinx ML-605 Reference Design [Analog Devices Wiki]

Hi Douglas_RFI 

Could you try following this wiki guide (EVALUATING THE AD9114/AD9115/AD9116/AD9117 AND THE AD9714/AD9715/AD9716/AD9717 DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTERS [Analog Devices Wiki]) and use the ACE platform? 

SPI control of AD9117-DPG2-EBZ without the SDP-H1 thru the ACE should work.



Let me know if you were able to control the board.

Best regards,
Peevee

Hi Peevee,

ACE program detected the AD9117 Hardware, but show Transaction Errors.

Please see attachment.

Hi Douglas,

Please ignore this reset failed as this might be an error only due to SDP-H1 not being present.

I encountered the same earlier when I tried, please continue and the plugin should work for the SPI control.

Best regards,
Peevee

Thanks Peevee for your help and support.
