GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Advantiv® EVAL-ADV7612-7511 video evaluation board
(AVEB) is a low cost solution for evaluating the performance of
the ADV7612 HDMI receiver and/or the ADV7511 HDMI
transmitter.
The evaluation board provides a Blackfin® ADSP-BF524 processor
for system control. The ADSP-BF524 offers the potential to
process audio (no audio software is included). The evaluation
board includes software (firmware) that provides a serial
command interface to control the board's functionality.
This evaluation board is available in two options.
•With HDCP support (EVAL-ADV7612-7511), available
only to licensees of HDCP
•Without HDCP support (EVAL-ADV7612-7511P)

TERMINOLOGY
Throughout this user guide, the following terms are used.
Source
A source outputs digital audio/video over a DVI/HDMI
interface. This can be a DVD/Blu-ray player, set-top box, game
console, or any other device with a DVI/HDMI output.
Sink
A sink accepts video through a DVI/HDMI interface. This is
nearly always a display with DVI/HDMI input in the context of
this user guide.
Repeater
A repeater refers to the software that runs on the ADSP-BF524
and implements the link between a source and sink with respect
to this evaluation board.

EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE
EVALUATION BOARD USAGE
The evaluation board can be connected in the ways shown in
Figure 3. By default, the video buses of the ADV7612 and
ADV7511 are directly connected, and the I
outputs of the ADV7612 are directly connected to the I
S/PDIF inputs of the ADV7511.
Note that the version of the board without HDCP support
(EVAL-ADV7612-7511P) does not work with most consumer
HDMI sources (for example, Blu-ray players) because they
automatically implement HDCP encryption. Therefore, a nonHDCP video source is needed with the non-HDCP version of
the board.
An HDCP license is required to purchase an HDCP-enabled
board. No license is required to purchase the non-HDCPenabled board.
The RS-232 command-line interface operates at 115,200 baud,
eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow control.
Ty pi ng help via RS-232 lists the commands that can be used to
control the board as well as indicate the version of firmware and
build date.
If the board is HDCP-enabled, the Analog Devices, Inc., repeater
software starts on power-up, allowing an HDMI sink to receive
content from an HDMI/HDCP source soon after it is connected.
There are three main ways to control the board.
• Commands via RS-232
• Repeater software via RS-232
• Advantiv video evaluation software (AVES)
Commands via RS-232
This mode uses the RS-232 command-line interface. The
ADSP-BF524 powers up to a known reset state and then outputs
a prompt. At this point, commands can be entered. Typing help
prints a list of commands. Using the appropriate commands, the
user can read/write registers in the ADV7612 and ADV7511.
All registers are at their reset values.

S and S/PDIF
2
S and
Boards without HDCP enabled (EVAL-ADV7612-7511P)
typically use this mode.
It is possible to start the repeater software in this mode with the
startrep command via RS-232. This only works with HDCPprotected sources on an HDCP-enabled board. A non-HDCPenabled board can still operate but does not support HDCP.
Repeater Software via RS-232
This mode also offers the RS-232 command-line interface but
primarily to control the repeater software. Boards with HDCP
support (EVAL-ADV7612-7511) typically start the repeater
software on power-up. The repeater software outputs messages
via RS-232 as it establishes an encrypted HDMI link and
sources, sinks, or formats change. Registers can still be
read/written from the command line, but anything that is
written to a register can be overwritten by the repeater software.
In this mode, there are additional commands from the repeater
itself. All repeater commands are in the rep XXX format, where
XXX is the repeater command. A list of repeater commands is
displayed using the rep help command. These commands provide information about the state of the repeater, source, and sink.
AVES
AVES is a Windows®-based application that runs on a PC and
allows the user to read/write registers on the ADV7612 and
ADV7511. It also displays the individual bit fields for each
register and allows the user to modify these individual bit fields.
The software supports RS-232, USB, and I

video evaluation board can be found on the EVAL-ADV7612-7511
page on EngineerZone at http://ez.analog.com/docs/DOC-1713.
For a non-HDCP-enabled board, this software may be the
easiest way to evaluate the different modes of the ADV7612
and ADV7511.
Additional information about the software can be found on
EngineerZone at http://ez.analog.com/docs/DOC-1789, where
the latest version of the software can also be downloaded.

JUMPERS
35
This evaluation board has all of the digital audio/video signals
(as well as some control signals) connected to 0.1 inch jumpers.
This provides users with easy access and maximum flexibility
when evaluating the devices.
The arrangement of the pins/signals in the schematic does not
necessarily match the physical arrangement on the board.
Figure 4 to Figure 7 match the physical arrangement on the
board and may be useful when probing these signals.

EVALUATION BOARD SOFTWARE
UPGRADING THE FIRMWARE
The software (firmware) on the evaluation board can be
upgraded using the standard Blackfin development tools.
• VisualDSP++ 5.0 Update 8
• JTAG debugger for Blackfin processors (HPUSB-ICE or
ICE-100B) connected to the JTAG connector (J7)
Using these tools, you can connect to the ADSP-BF524
processor, run a script, and program the SPI flash memory
device (U10).
With that said, all but a very few evaluation boards are shipped with
the U-Boot boot loader firmware. If this is the case, you have the
option of upgrading the firmware using only an RS-232 cable
and software.
If you see the following output after resetting the board or
applying power, your evaluation board has U-Boot:
CPU: ADSP bf524-0.2 (Detected Rev: 0.2) (spi
flash boot)
Board: ADI Advantiv™ Video Evaluation Board

Hit any key to stop autoboot:
-------------------
If your evaluation board has U-Boot, you can use the following
steps to upgrade the application firmware of your board (if you
determine this is necessary). Note that these instructions
assume you are using the latest version of Tera Term for
Windows (which is free to download and use), but any RS-232
software with Ymodem upload capability should also work.
1. After you see the hit any key to stop autoboot prompt,
press a key during the countdown. You should then see a
prompt, bfin >.
2. At the prompt, type the following command:
sf probe 0:1
You should see the following:
SF: Detected M25P80 with page size 256, total
1 MiB
1024 KiB M25P80 at 0:1 is now current device
bfin>
3. At the prompt, type the following command:

You should see the following output:
## Ready for binary (ymodem) download to

4. In Te r a Ter m, unde r File, click Tr an s fe r, then YMODEM,
and select Send…
5. Select the application firmware (for example, EVAL-
ADV7612-7511_v1p3_app.bin) and click Open.
6. You should see the YMODEM send dialog box progress
quickly from 0% to 100%. If the software stalls at Packet 1
or Packet 2 for a few seconds, you may need to cancel and
retry. It is possible that you may need to repeat Step 3
through Step 5 a few times to accomplish the transfer. After
the transfer is complete, you should see the following:
7. At the prompt, type the following command to erase the
application area of the SPI flash memory:
sf erase 0x60000 0xa0000
You should then see the following output:
bfin>
8. At the prompt, type the following command to program
the application area of the SPI flash memory:
sf write $(loadaddr) 0x60000 $(filesize)
You should then see the following output:
bfin>
9. At this point, if you reset your board and allow the
countdown to complete, U-Boot should launch the
application firmware that you just programmed.
