2. Overview
The MAXREFDES32 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 necessary
CPU bootloader, FPGA bitstream, and MAXREFDES32# executable file. This
approach is explained in detail in
Section 3
of this document.
•
(Flexible) Use the Xilinx SDK to download the board bitstream and executable
file. This approach allows the source code to be modified. This approach is
explained in detail of
Section 4
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 MAXREFDES32 system.
1) Download the latest BOOT.BIN file from the MAXREFDES32# page.
2) Obtain a FAT32 formatted 4GB SD card such as the one provided with the
ZedBoard.
3) Copy the BOOT.BIN file onto the SD card. A USB-to-SD adapter is normally
required to do this on a PC with Windows OS (Figure
1).
4) Ensure the SD card is the BOOT.BIN file.
Note that if using the Avnet supplied
SD card, it comes pre-installed with a Linux test image. This image needs to
be removed.
5) Remove 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 MAXREFDES32# reference design board to the J1 FMC™ connector
(Figure 5).
8) Connect 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 on-board display will show the
message
MAXIM INTEGRATED REFERENCE DESIGN Revision XX.XX.
a) The ZedBoard utilizes the Cypress USB-UART bridge IC. If Windows cannot
automatically install the driver for the Cypress USB-UART bridge IC, the driver
is available for download from www.cypress.com/?rID=63794. The driver is
WHQL certified for the default Cypress VID / PID of 0x04B4 / 0x0008.
9) Open 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 115200, n, 8, 1, none (flow control).
10) The MAXREFDES32 software will display a menu (Figure
6).
11) Use the menu selections to choose ADC conversion or signal replication.
