AD-DAC-FMC-EBZ with AD9163 bring-up

Hi,

As a starting point you can use the HDL design referenced here.

Together with that you can use the latest Kuiper linux image but unfortunately the devicetree is not included in BOOT partition yet so you'll have to build one on your own using this devicetree source

After that please try to use the IIO OSC tool already built in Kuiper image. With OSC tool you can load a waveform file and it will be streamed from DDR to DAC using the DMA.

Hello, 

Thank you for the reply.

The device tree source you mentioned is socfpga_arria10_socdk_ad9136_fmc_ebz.dts

So is this also covering ad9163? 

and can you suggest me a way to build it? 

Best Regards,

Ömer.

The devicetree I linked is targeted for https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/ad-dac-fmc-ebz and it should support ad9163.

You can follow the steps presented here: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-build/generic/zynq to build the device tree

Thank you, I have used the device tree from your link and followed the steps from here to build the Kernel and the Device tree https://wiki.analog.com/resources/tools-software/linux-build/generic/socfpga

I have built also the FPGA project in Quartus and generated rbf and put all in the SDcard and booted. It seems boot is successful. 

I have also the  EVAL-AD916X board attached to FMCA connector of the A10SoC.

Now how can I verify actually that I have everything in place correctly? Are there some simple check points that you can suggest and any simple application examples to read/write registers and so on.. ?

Best Regards,

Ömer.
