EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Purpose and prerequisites The goal of this document is to describe the use of the GUI to control the EV10AS940-FMC-EVM: Additional information on the hardware can be found in the EV10AS940-FMC-EVM user manual. It is required to first install a few dependencies before starting the GUI: ▪...
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Board connection Once the hardware has been correctly set up and the GUI launched, the main GUI window will be displayed. The first step is then to establish the connection with the board trough the connect icon displayed below in the red square: Once the connection is performed, the icon turns green.
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Clock configuration On the left part of the DUT control window, it is possible to configure the clock, that can be either supplied by the on- board PLL (TI LMX2594) or from an external generator: Current limitation: the board cannot operate for a Fclock frequency in the 7.4 to 7.9 GHz range. This limitation will be removed in a future revision of the software.
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Internal clock (on board PLL) In this configuration, the clock frequency can be selected amongst a list available in the “PLL_Frequency” control. In the GUI folder, a directory contains .txt files used to program the PLL for each available frequency. If other frequencies are required, please contact the Hotline to get new files.
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Synchronize High Speed Serial Links (HSSL) Once the clock has been configured, the next step is to synchronize the HSSLs used to transfer the data. This procedure is performed via the same DUT control window. The recommended option to synchronize the HSSL is to click on the “Init sequence” button. It will perform consecutively the below steps (i.e., reset, sync clock and sync) :...
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Calibration To modify the calibration settings, click on the “calibration” icon on the DUT control window: On this window, it is possible: ▪ To enable/disable Local Factory, Global Factory and Background calibrations, ▪ To modify the local and global coefficients values ▪...

EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual To use the Local Factory calibration with coefficients from the Background calibration, click on the “Background to LC0” button : This button put the background coefficients of a core in the LC0 (Local Coefficient 0) of the same core (in the picture below, it is shown for the gain but it also applies to the offset) : Slight differences can happen between the values due to rounding effect.
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Real mode acquisition Launch an acquisition To acquire the data in real mode and calculate its associated performances, click on the “acquisition” button on the main screen : Click on “Continuous” (perform acquisitions until you click again on the button) or “Single” (one acquisition only) buttons in order to see the samples (top left), the histogram (top right) and the spectrum (bottom) (if you choose continuous acquisition, click on “Stop”...
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Export data Click on the “Export to Excel” button to export data in an Excel file : Three sheets are created: ▪ Samples (which contains the time in ns and the codes of the acquired data) ▪...

EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual ▪ TILD (Total InterLeaving Distortion) (dBc) : power of the interleaving spurs, appearing from the individual core gain and offset mismatches. The spurs are located at Fc/n +-Fin frequencies, n being a power of 2 (up to 32) ▪...
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Temperature monitoring To monitor the temperature measured by the diode and by the internal sensor, click on the “Temp” button in the main screen: The temperatures measured by the diode and by the internal sensor are displayed (if the “Enable” checkbox is ticked for the sensor).
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Complex mode configuration To configure and use the digital features, click on the DDC button on the DUT control window: DDC configuration On the top part of the window, the DDC configuration section allows setting the ADC in its various complex modes: •...
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual NCO/PA settings On the NCO/PA settings tab are represented all the possible NCO settings. Since the fast frequency hopping can use up to 8 settings for the 4 channels, 32 initial phase and frequency values can be configured: In the bottom part, a control can be used to set all the settings to a specific value (for the phase and/or the frequency).
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual 9.3.1 IOs commands To use the FFH, it is first required to activate the GPIO clock (either at 50 or 100 MHz). A LED turns green to validate that the clock has been successfully received by the FPGA.
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual 9.3.2 NCO/PA Settings in use On the right are displayed the settings index and phase/frequency values currently in use for each channel, NCO settings in case of reset/continuous hops, PA settings for coherent hops. The settings can be modified directly on the control and the full list on the NCO/PA settings tab will then be updated.
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual Beamforming The beamforming tab gives access to the corresponding delay and gain settings : The gain varies from 0 to 1.65 and there are two kinds of delays: the integer delays will add from 0 to 15 Tclock to a channel while the fractional delay is based on a farrow filter to add from -0.5 to 0.5 Tclock.
EV10AS940-FMC-EVM GUI User Manual The 140 ps delay corresponds to 1.792 clock period which can be expressed into 2 integer delays and -0.208 fractional delay. Consequently, those values must be set to the corresponding controls. In addition, the NCO initial phase has to be shifted to account for the fractional delay.
