The evaluation tool enables control of the ZCU208 and ZCU216 RF DC IPs (see Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC RF Data Converter LogiCORE IP Product Guide (PG269)) and associated designs from a host computer. The tool allows the exploration of RF configurations, generation and capture of RF data, and observation of key RF metrics.
The following figure shows the evaluation tool and test platform overview.
Figure 1. Evaluation Tool and Test Platform Overview
The tool is built from these components:
- ZCU208 Evaluation Board User Guide (UG1410)
- ZCU216 Evaluation Board User Guide (UG1390)
- FPGA hardware design (see Hardware Design)
- FPGA embedded software design (see Software Design and Build)
- GUI (see RF Data Converter Interface User Guide (UG1309))
- Protocol used to communicate between the host computer (GUI) and the software design (see Protocol Specifications)
