DC2266A 16-Bit, 210Msps ADC FMC reference design and Linux drivers.

Hi Andrei,

The  LTC2107 is nice bit of silicone, why there are no plans to support it?

LT  goodies not first class citizens?

Regards.

Hi Xyrtek:

there are no "LT" parts, only ADI ones. :) we are all one big happy family.

the group that does the FPGA and driver code responds to either (1) end user requests (like yours) or (2) internal requests from folks like Clarence. If we don't get requests - we don't add things to the list - since the list is already pretty long....

Andrei is right - now it is not on the list, until you asked for it - (and based on feedback from your local ADI FAE, who you should make the same request to - feel free to give them my name). We will have a look to see if the LTC2107 eval board is compatible with the standard Xilinx platforms (we don't support boards that only work on Zed Board, we need ZC706, ZCU102, KC705, KC102, Arria 10 SoC, Arria 10 GX) There is always a never ending maintainace burden of adding a new board (it gets added to test, and needs to be checked every 6 months on all the supported carriers  when we do a release). As you can imagine - things explode pretty quickly - so we don't do something unless people are asking. 

Hope that helps describe the process.

Robin,

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

The question was made to the general audience hence the specific board on the subject. However in the context of ADI/Drivers it is about ADI's Linux and board independent.

Glad to hear the Clarence mentioned my request to the FPGA/Driver group, please do keep me posted. Any of the ADI's supported boards will work for me.

Regards.
