    2400 – 2500 MHz region, the kit is ideal for the RF engineer seeking optimized system performance meeting datasheet specifications in a defined range of RF spectrum. This Getting Started Guide will proceed through the steps to setup the Zynq-7000 AP SoC / AD9361 Software- Defined Radio Evaluation Kit and run the out-of-box demonstration.
  • Page 6 GETTING STARTED WITH ZYNQ SOFTWARE-DEFINED RADIO The Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC / AD9361 Software-Defined Radio Evaluation Kit comes with a ‘Getting Started’ demonstration design flashed onto the SD card, which enables a single-board computer on the Avnet ZedBoard running UBUNTU desktop Linux. The system includes programmable logic-based interfaces and ARM- based Linux drivers for the Analog Devices AD9361 integrated RF Agile Transceiver on the FMC module.
