MAXREFDES71# ZedBoard Quick Start Guide
1. Required Equipment
• MAXREFDES71# board
• ZedBoardTM development kit
• Industrial sensor or signal source
• To run the binary from SD card:
o Host PC with Windows® OS Terminal Software installed (HyperTerminal)
and one USB port
o Cypress USB-UART bridge device driver
o 4GB FAT32 formatted SD card
• To run the software from the Xilinx SDK:
o PC with Windows OS with Xilinx® PlanAheadTM/SDK version 14.2 or later
and two USB ports
o License for Xilinx EDK/SDK (free WebPACKTM license is OK)
o Xilinx Platform Cable USB II-compatible JTAG device
2. Overview
The MAXREFDES71# ZedBoard software can be downloaded to the ZedBoard board
via two methods:
• (Easiest) Boot from an SD card containing a binary file that loads the nec essary
CPU bootloader, FPGA bitstream, and MAXREFDES71# executable file. This
approach is explained in detail in Section 3
• (Flexible) Use the Xilinx SDK to download the board bitstream and executable
file. This approach allows the source code to be mod ified, which is explained in
detail in Section 4
of this document.
of this document.
3. Boot from an SD Card
The steps below describe how to download the binary image (BOOT.BIN), install on an
SD card, and begin using the MAXREFDES71 system.
1) Down load the latest BOOT.BIN file from the MAXREFDES71# page.
2) O btain a FAT32 Formatted 4GB SD card such as the one provided with the
ZedBoard.
3) Copy t he BO OT.BIN file onto the SD card. A USB-to-SD adaptor is normally
required to do this on a Windows PC (Figure 1).
4) Ensur e the SD card is the BOOT.BIN file. Note that if using the Avnet supplied
SD card, it come preinstalled with a Linux test image. This image will need
to be removed.
5) Rem ove the SD card from the host PC. Make sure the ZedBoard is powered off,
and insert the SD card in the ZedBoard (Figure 2).
6) Configure the ZedBoard boot source jumpers to boot from SD (Figure 3 and
Figure 4).

7) Connect the MAXREFDES71# reference design board to the J1 FMC™ connector
(Figure 5).
8) Connec t a Micro-USB cable to ZedBoard USB connector J14. Connect the 12V
power supply to the ZedBoard and slide the SW8 power switch to the on position.
If the BOOT.BIN file has loaded successfully, the onboard display will show the
message MAXIM INTEGRATED REFERENCE DESIGN Revisi on XX.XX.
a) The ZedBoard utilizes the Cypress USB-UART bridge IC. If the Windows
cannot automatically install the driver for the Cypress USB-UART bridge IC,
the driver is available for download from
(http://www.cypress.com/?rID=63794). The driver is WHQL certified for the
default Cypress VID / PID of 0x04B4 / 0x0008.
9) O pen HyperTerminal or similar terminal program on the PC. Find the appropriate
COM port, usually a higher number port, such as COM4, or COM6, and configure
the connection for 460800, n, 8, 1, none (flow control).
10) The MAXREFDES71 software will dis play a menu (Figure 6).
11) Use the menu selections to choose ADC conversion or signal replicat ion.

4. Download Demonstration from Xilinx SDK
Below is a high-level overview of the steps required to quickly get the MAXREFDES71#
design running by downloading and running the FPG A project. Detailed instructions for
each step are provided in the following pages.
1) Connect the MAXREFDES71# board to the J1 FMC connector of a ZedBoard as
shown in Figure 5.
2) Down load the latest RD71V01_00.ZIP file located at the MAXREFDES71# page.
3) Extract the RD71V01_00.ZIP file to a directory on your PC.
4) Open the Xilinx SDK.
5) Down load the bitstream (.BIT) file to the board. This bitstream contains the FPGA
hardware design and software bootloader.
6) Use Xil inx SDK to download and run the executable file (.ELF) on one of the two
ARM® CortexTM-A9 processors.
