 (ADI)  

System: Microblaze, AXI, UART 

This reference design is based on KC705 IES (rev.C) board. 

The AD9739A FMC Card is not fully ANSI/VITA 57.1 compatible: 

does not meet the mechanical form factor (too tall, too long),

does not include the I2C EEPROM as specified in Rule 5.69, 

Also see “bugs” below.

It was designed, and meets the needs of prototyping platforms, and will work with FPGA 
Development systems which include an FMC connector. It may not mechanically fit on other 

ANSI/VITA 57.1 carrier cards. 

Quick Start Guide

The reference design has been tested on ML605(Virtex-6), KC705(Kintex-7) and VC707(Virtex-7) 

boards. The notes below refer to ML605, however the procedure is same for the other boards. 
Please make sure that you have downloaded and are using the correct design files for your 

board. The bit file provided combines the FPGA bit file and the SDK elf files. It may be used for a 
quick check on the system. All you need is the hardware and a PC running a UART terminal and 
the programmer (IMPACT).
