Base TRD Hardware Setup Requirements
These items are required to run and test the Base TRD and the video demonstration:
•
The ZC702 evaluation board with the XC7Z020 CLG484-1 part
•
USB Type-A to USB Mini-B cable (for UART communications) and a Tera Term Pro (or
similar) terminal program
•
USB-UART drivers from Silicon Labs
•
AC power adapter (12 VDC)
•
An HDMI cable (two cables if using the ZVIK and the user desires to use an external
video source for the demonstration)
•
SD MMC flash card containing TRD binaries formatted with FAT32
The included SD MMC is pre-loaded with required binaries. The binaries are loaded into
Note:
the first partition of the SD MMC card and include:
-
BOOT.bin
-
image.ub
- autostart.sh
The default binary device tree configures the video-out resolution to 1080p.

Additionally, the binaries should be loaded at its root level. If the files are not loaded on the
SD card, copy the files from the ready_to_test directory to the SD card.
•
USB Micro-B to female A adapter

monitor is not available, a DVI monitor can be used, but an HDMI to DVI-D
cable/connector adapter is required (not included with the kit). The connector adapter
can be easily obtained at most electronic retailers or through a variety of online
sources.
Instructions for running the demonstration at 720p are provided in
