ADC12D800 FPGA Source Code

Hi Max

Can you provide a little more information regarding which ADC12D800RFRB you are using? When you connect this board to the PC and configure it using the normal Wavevision5 software method, what is the text displayed when the "Loading xxxxxxx FPGA Image..." message comes up? Which board name "xxxxxxx" is being recognized?

Also please make sure that the red LED near the power switch is illuminated before configuring the board. If the switch is off or the adapter is not properly connected the USB interface will still recognize the board but FPGA configuration will not work properly and other board functions will not be active.

Regards,

Jim B

 

HI JIM

thank you for quick reply.
when i start wavevision, board name "Loading ADC12D800RFRB3 FPGA Image..." is being recognized and everything working fine.

but if i take .bit file from fpga source code that you provide on the web and swap the new image for the old one on the directory: C:\Program Files\National Semiconductor\WaveVision5\hardware\fpga_images => wavevision not working. i have error: DUT clock not detected by the firmware...

red LED near the power switch is illuminated

I think the problem in the version of the source code that you provide. maybe is it old version?

thanks once again
best regards,

Max

Hi Luke,

Thanks for the files but unfortunately these are the files that I have. WaveVision5 still does not work and gives me the same error.

Can you please explain the difference between files ADC12D800rfrb and ADC12D800rfrb3?

Again: I do not make any changes in the project and in the source code. I just:

• сreate a new .BIT file;
• copy it to the C:\Program Files\National Semiconductor\WaveVision5\hardware\fpga_images;
• change the name of the new file to the adc10d1000_xc4vlx25_adc12d800rfrb3.bit;
• connect the board;
• run WaveVision5;
• WaveVision5 finds the hardware, loads FPGA image
• and when I press the green button (Acquire continuously) I get a hardware error: WvBoardReadCaptureData, DUT clock not detected by the firmware...

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello Max,
This sounds like a problem that another user was experiencing: http://e2e.ti.com/support/data_converters/high_speed_data_converters/f/68/p/348949/1224932#1224932

Try to toggle between external and internal clock to see if this can solve the problem.

Hello Luke,
Thank you for providing the link!
I tried to toggle between external and internal clock in the WaveVision5 but I still have this problem. I also tried to use the files that you have attached below but it didn't help...
Waiting for solution...

Max
