Overview
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The :adi:`EVAL-AD488X-FMC <eval-ad4884>` is an FMC evaluation board designed
to demonstrate the performance of the :adi:`AD4880` and :adi:`AD4884`
dual-channel, low noise, high speed successive approximation register (SAR)
analog-to-digital converters (ADC) with integrated fully differential drivers
(FDA) and gain setting resistors.

The evaluation board is designed for use with the Digilent ZedBoard via the FMC

Recommendations
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

People who follow the flow that is outlined, have a much better experience
with things. However, like many things, documentation is never as complete as
it should be. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on our
:ref:`EngineerZone forums <help-and-support>`, but before that, please make
sure you read our documentation thoroughly.

.. _ad488x prerequisites:

Prerequisites
===============================================================================

What you need, depends on what you are trying to do. As a minimum, you need to
start out with:

Hardware prerequisites
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#. The AD488X-based evaluation board:
:adi:`EVAL-AD488X-FMC <eval-ad4884>`
#. An FPGA carrier platform. Our recommended one can be found
:ref:`here <ad488x carriers>`.

- There are a few more boards, which do work, but are currently not
supported by us. The experience with the fabric-only solutions is very
close to the ARM/FPGA SoC based solutions, but the GUI runs on a host
PC (Windows or Linux).

#. Some way to interact with the FPGA platform:

#. for the ARM/FPGA SoC platforms, this normally includes:

- Micro-USB cable for UART console
- LAN cable (Ethernet) for SSH or IIO applications
- HDMI or DisplayPort monitor (Optional)
- USB Keyboard (Optional)
- USB Mouse (Optional)

#. for the FPGA-only, this includes:

- LAN cable (Ethernet)
- Host PC (Windows or Linux)
- Micro-USB cable for UART
- Micro-USB cable for JTAG (PROG)

#. Internet connection (without proxies makes things much easier) to update
the scripts/binaries on the SD card that came with the ADI FMC Card
(firewalls are OK, proxies make things a pain).

#. Test equipment for generating analog input signals.

#. An SD card with at least 16 GB of memory (in case you're using Linux).

vale:Vale.Terms:32 Use '[Gg]b' instead of 'GB'.
You should have received one when purchasing the evaluation board.

Software prerequisites
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Normally, for basic functionalities regarding visualizing the data received
from the FPGA, we use the following:

#. :external+scopy:doc:`Scopy <index>` v2.0 or later (must contain the IIO
plugin)

#. :git-iio-oscilloscope:`IIO Oscilloscope <releases>`

#. UART terminal application (PuTTY/TeraTerm/Minicom), 115200 8N1

.. note::

:adi:`ADI <>` does not offer FPGA carrier platforms for sale or loan;
getting one yourself is the normal part of development or evaluation.

Quickstart
===============================================================================

The Quick Start Guides provide simple step by step instructions on how to do
an initial system setup for the :adi:`EVAL-AD488X-FMC <eval-ad4884>`
board on various FPGA development boards. In these guides, we will discuss how
to program the bitstream, run a no-OS program or boot a Linux distribution.

Supported carriers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The :adi:`EVAL-AD488X-FMC <eval-ad4884>`, is, by definition a "FPGA
mezzanine card" (FMC); that means it needs a carrier to plug into.

The carriers we support are:

Hardware setup
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On most carriers, the :adi:`EVAL-AD488X-FMC <eval-ad4884>` board
connects to the FMC LPC connector (unless otherwise noted). The carrier
setup requires power, UART (115200), Ethernet (Linux), HDMI (if available)
and/or JTAG (no-OS) connections. A few typical setups are shown below.
