Connecting EK1HMC7044LP10B to multiple ADRV9009-ZU11EG SOMs

mstone
on Mar 12, 2020

I'm working to use an HMC7044 Dev Board (EK1HMC7044LP10B) to sync multiple ADRV9009-ZU11EG SOMs.

Referencing pyadi-iio (multi-som-adrv9009 branch), I figured I'd start with the adrv9009_som_multi.py example.

Using an Ubuntu host PC, I adjusted the script to open in python3.6.9, and set the IP addresses for master and slave.

However, when I run it, I get the following:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'reg_write'

So I have some questions:

1.) The failure point is referencing clock_chip_ext.  Does this indicate it can't see the HMC7044 Dev Board?

2.) How does the script communicate with the HMC7044 board?  Should it be connected to the master via USB?

3.) Is there any guidance about how I might integrate this into the system.dtb file?

    Added some information about ADRV9009-ZU11EG multi-SOM synchronization here (The page will be updated in the following days)

    Thanks,

    Mihai

    I have a question on that page.  Should it be R276 instead of R270 that is being replaced with 50 ohms?

    Yes, you are right, it is R276. The instructions are updated now.

    Thanks,

    I've implemented the hardware changes on the listed page, and copied all files within the zip into the BOOT directories of each SOM.

    Now my results when running the example file are as follows:

    Hello,

    Can you share the output of the console  when booting ? 

    Regards,
