What is best fpga project to start with AD9172 Eval board and ZCU108 Xilinx board ?

Hello Blackswan,

The hdl reference design for the AD9172 is the following: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl/tree/master/projects/dac_fmc_ebz and I would suggest starting with the ZCU102. 

Regarding the Xilinx carrier you've mentioned, I think it is actually a VCU108, which has Virtex UltraScale. 

Also, for porting one of our designs to another carrier you might want to take a look at this user guide: wiki.analog.com/.../porting_project_quick_start_guide

Regards,

Stanca

someone know why Transceiver type is set to RX ? TX_OR_RX_N = 0 ???

im now testing a DAC so this need to be on TX (right ?)

Sorry, we somehow missed your question. Where exactly did you find this parameter set to 0? If we're both looking onto the HDL reference design for dac_fmc_ebz, you may notice it is set to 1: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/hdl/blob/master/projects/dac_fmc_ebz/common/dac_fmc_ebz_bd.tcl#L60.
