Recording Data from AD7768 using Raspberry Pi 4

Hi SJayawardena ,

The AD7768 output is a source-synchronous, serialized interface with framing signal, and almost certainly will require an FPGA to receive data. We provide an example project that does this:

https://analogdevicesinc.github.io/hdl/projects/ad7768evb/index.html

And there are pre-built bit files in ADI Kuiper Linux for the EVAL-AD7768 connected to a ZedBoard development platform.

The same exists for the CN0579, for the AD7768-4 on a Digilent Cora Z7 board and Intel DE10-Nano:
https://analogdevicesinc.github.io/hdl/projects/cn0579/index.html

Both of these use the same FPGA IP core, which is intended for you to use in your own designs.

There are boot files for these combinations in ADI Kuiper Linux, which will allow you to capture data in multiple ways. There are complete instructions for how to set this up for the CN0579 here:

The process is similar for the EVAL-AD7768 on Zed.

Hi MarkThoren ,

Thanks for your reply!

I'm still relatively new to the world of electronics so I was hoping to not have to go down the complicated black hole of FPGAs.

I stumbled upon this (link) FAQ section on the Engineer Zone which very briefly talks about using a microcontroller to interface with the AD7768's data out lines. Does ADI have any guides on this implementation?

Thanks in advance,

Jay
