Requirements - Xilinx KCU105 User Manual

Setup
This chapter identifies the hardware and software requirements, and the preliminary setup
procedures required prior to bringing up the targeted reference design.

Requirements

Hardware
Board and Peripherals
• KCU105 board with the Kintex® UltraScale™ XCKU040-2FFVA1156E FPGA
• USB cable, standard-A plug to micro-B plug (Digilent cable)
• Power supply: 100 VAC–240 VAC input, 12 VDC 5.0A output
• ATX power supply
• ATX power supply adapter
Computers
A control computer is required to run the Vivado® Design Suite and confige the on-board
FPGA. It can be a laptop or desktop computer with any operating system supported by
Vivado tools, such as Redhat Linux or Microsoft® Windows 7.
The reference design test configuration requires a host computer comprised of the chassis,
containing a motherboard with a PCI Express slot, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. A DVD
drive is also required if a Linux operating system is used. If a Windows 7 operating system
is used, the 64-bit Windows 7 OS and the Java SE Development Kit 7 must be installed.
Software
Vivado Design Suite 2017.2 is required. The Fedora 20 LiveDVD, on which the TRD software
and GUI run, is only required if a Linux operating system is used.
