Configuring The Fpga - Xilinx Virtex-7 FPGA VC7222 IBERT Getting Started Manual

Chapter 1: VC7222 IBERT Getting Started Guide

Configuring the FPGA

This section describes how to configure the FPGA using the SD card included with the
Virtex-7 FPGA VC7222 GTH and GTZ Transceiver Characterization Board. The FPGA can
also be configured through Vivado Design Suite using the .bit files available on the SD
card, or online (as collection rdf0297-vc7222-ibert-2014-2.zip) at the
FPGA VC7222 Characterization Kit documentation

Insert the SD card provided with the VC7222 board into the SD card reader slot located
on the bottom side (upper right corner) of the VC7222 board.
Plug the 12V output from the power adapter into connector J2 on the VC7222 board.
Connect the host computer to the VC7222 board using a standard-A plug to Micro-B
plug USB cable. The standard-A plug connects to a USB port on the host computer and
the Micro-B plug connects to U57, the Digilent USB JTAG configuration port on the
VC7222 board.
Select the GTZ IBERT demonstration with the System ACE SD controller SYSACE-2
CFG switch, SW8. The setting on this 4-bit DIP switch
to configure the FPGA. A switch is in the ON position if set to the far right and in the
OFF position if set to the far left. For the Quad 300 GTZ IBERT demonstration, set
ADR2 = OFF, ADR1 = OFF, and ADR0 = ON. The MODE bit (switch position 4) is not
used and can be set either ON or OFF.
