Signal Processing with ADRV9026 on Linux Without GUI

ADRV9026 on ADS9 does not use our standard Linux drivers, and uses the API directly for evaluation.  Ramarao does that system support any embedded development?

Hi AliTalebi , ASD9 support and managed through Ramarao  and others. However, I dont believe any development on the embedded system is supported. But he or others need to comment.

For signal processing, which FPGA should I load the code onto – the Zynq FPGA on the MicroZed board or the Kintex Ultrascale FPGA on the motherboard itself?

Its the Kintex Ultrascale FPGA that we use or JESD signal transfer and signal processing.

How can I use the APIs for configuring the transceiver in a non-Linux environment? What is the recommended approach for interacting with the APIs without relying on Linux?

Please check Software integration section of the User guide.

Could you please share your project details, what are you trying to come up with?

Thank you for your previous responses.

My goal is to measure the time interval between multiple Gaussian pulses after receiving them. Specifically, I want to process these pulses in an embedded environment. For example, one of my tasks is to receive multiple Gaussian pulses, measure the time interval between them, and count the number of pulses received.

I would like to clarify the following points:

1. If I write my code on the Kintex Ultrascale FPGA, since it does not have an ARM core, I understand that I won’t be able to execute APIs for communication.

2. On the other hand, if I write my code on the Avnet Zynq FPGA, I know that it doesn’t have a JESD204B connection to the FMC interface, so it wouldn’t be possible to send data directly through this FPGA.

Given these limitations, I would like to know the best approach for my project: should I write the code for the Kintex FPGA or the Zynq FPGA? And how can I manage the communication and data transfer in an embedded environment where I won’t be relying on a PC?

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide more detailed guidance on how to handle the data transfer, signal generation, and processing in this embedded setup, as the documentation provides general information, but the exact implementation steps are unclear.

Thank you

The MicroZed board is the embedded Linux system on which the ADRV902X Command Server will execute. The ultrascale design connects to the MicroZed through the AXI Bridge.  The  Ultrascale FPGA interfaces to the ADRV902X evaluation board through a FPGA Mezzanine (FMC) connector. 

The MicroZed connects to a PC through a TCP/IP connection between the command server (running on the MicroZed) and the client DLL (running on the PC). Command and control to ADRV902X as well as the FPGA peripherals are performed over the TCP/IP connection.

We donot provide the reference design for the Ultrascale FPGA.

Since, you want to add your own IP in the FPGA, it would be good, if you use ZCU102 FPGA  and ADRV9026 and use the Linux drivers for building it. Please follow the below link for the guidelines
