AD9371 + KCU105 no-OS evaluation procedure

I’m trying to get the AD9371 evaluation board and software running on the Xilinx KCU105 board using the AD9371 No‑OS Setup instructions on the Analog Devices wiki. I’m running into two, possibly related, issues:

  1. The console output from the MicroBlaze processor reports a DeframerStatus of 0x21. I believe that indicates a problem. Is that the AD9371 Deframer (Tx) or the FPGA Deframer (Rx)?
  2. The captured ADC data is all zeros.

 

FPGA code: hdl-2018_r1 (/projects/adrv9371x/kcu105)

Software and Scripts: no-OS-master downloaded 8/3/2018 (no‑OS‑master/ad9371)

AD9371FilterWizard v1.10

Transceiver Evaluation Software: MYK_v2068

RefClk: 15.36 MHz, 398 mVrms (FilterWizard AD9528 RefClkA set to 15.36).

Rx LO Frequency: 1.8 GHz

Test input: 1.820 GHz sine wave, -30 dBm

1. Does the console output indicate a problem? What are the likely causes?

2. Are there any known issues with the software and hdl versions I'm using that might cause this problem?

3. Do you have a set of myk.c and myk_ad9528init.c files that are known to work with the KCU105 board?

thanks.

  • Have you modified the AD9528 code to take 15.36MHz as reference ?

    Moving to NO_OS support subspace.for more comments.

  • I modified the AD9528 RefClkA Freq setting in the Filter Wizard to 15.36 MHz when I generated the profiles. Then I imported those profiles into TES and generated the C Script files (myk.c, myk.h, myk_ad9528init.c). myk_ad9528init.c appears to have the correct RefClkA frequency setting. I've attached the header files generated by TES. But I'm still using headless.c from no-OS-master as instructed on the wiki.

  • Don’t do that. For optimal performance keep the reference clock has high as possible. Better keep the 122.88 if possible. It might be the case that the FPGA gigabit transceiver can’t handle it.

  • The default AD9528 RefClkA frequency is 30.72 MHz (SMA input to AD9371 eval board). The AD9528 VCXO frequency is 122.88 MHz (fixed component on AD9371 eval board). We decreased the AD9528 RefClkA frequency to 15.36 MHz because our signal generator maxes out at 20 MHz. It works fine on the Zynq eval platform.

    The Ref/Device clock generated by the AD9528 and going to the AD9371 & FPGA is set to 153.6 MHz.

  • Sorry - I replied from my mobile yesterday. I didn't really catch that the AD9528 Reference clock is changed.

    I saw device clock 153600 and assumed that this was set to 15.36MHz.

    In case you leave the Device Clock at 122.88 and only change the AD9528 Reference clock, are you still getting these framer and deframer errors?

  • Yes. I set the device clock to 122.88 MHz (instead of 153.6 MHz) and received the same console output messages. According to UG-992 RxFramerStatus of 0x20 does not indicate an error, but it doesn't appear to have completed its initialization. The DeframerStatus of 0x21 does indicate an error (FS lost).

    I see a similar problem reported here, but the resolution was not specified.

  • I was able to get the RxFramerStatus and DeframerStatus to pass by dropping the Rx sample rate from 122.88 MHz to 61.44 MHz. I'll play with that some more later. Now the console output shows no errors, but I'm not getting any Rx data. The capture.tcl script reads from address 0x00800000 (8388608), but that always reads 0. I also tried 0x80800000 (the start address in headless.c). That looks more like Rx data, but the VisualAnalog FFT shows no energy. My Rx LO is set to 2.55 GHz and I'm injecting a -30 dBm sine wave at 2.551 GHz. So I'm looking for a peak at 1 MHz. I'm still experimenting. Just want to keep you up to date.

  • I was finally able to capture good Rx data on the AD9371+KCU105 evaluation board setup by reducing the Rx data rate to 30.72 Msps. However, even at that low data rate the setup does not always capture valid Rx data when running headless.c.

    Reducing the Rx data rate from my target 122.88 Msps to 30.72 Msps prevents the RxFramerStatus and DeframerStatus errors I was seeing. I now get this console output consistently at the 30.72 Msps rate.

    But that's not enough to guarantee a valid Rx capture. The JESD Link Rx module in the FPGA provides the LANE0_STATUS and LANE1_STATUS at 0x44aa0300 and 0x44aa0320. Those lane statuses must both be 0x00000032 to capture valid data (indicating ILAS_READY, IFS_READY and CGS_STATE=DATA). Often one or the other reports back a status of 0x10 or 0x30 (CGS_STATE=INIT) instead of 0x32.

    At an Rx data rate of 61.44 Msps I have never seen both lane statuses correct, but the console output does not indicate any errors.

    At what maximum sample rate has Analog Devices been able to consistently capture valid Rx data on the AD9371+KCU105 setup?

  • I would like some help getting the AD9371+KCU105 no-OS evaluation setup running with Rx and Tx sample rates of 122.88 Msps.

    Running the headless.c main loop multiple times I see one of these two outputs:

    My Rx1 input can not be captured successfully in either case.

    I'm using the hdl-2018_r1 tree HDL code and no-Os software.

    Should the AD9371+KCU105 setup with the hdl-2018_r1 HDL and software support these rates?

    thanks.

  • Still waiting for a response...

    I'm using the hdl-2018_r1 tree HDL code and no-Os software.

    Should the AD9371+KCU105 setup with the hdl-2018_r1 HDL and software support these rates (Rx=122.88 MSPS, Tx=122.88 MSPS)?

  • Hi,

    Sorry for the delay. We will have a look.

    Thanks,

    Dragos

  • Thanks. I have one update. Last Friday I put the headless.c initialization sequence into a loop, checking the JESD Rx Lane0 and Lane1 status registers after each attempt. The loop ran 195 times before both lane statuses were 0x32. (This is with an Rx sample rate of 122.88 MSPS). At that point the initialization loop stopped and the code started looping on adc_capture. It's been running without any problems since Friday. So I suspect the problem is with initialization.
