4. Procedure
1. Connect the Alameda board to the JA1 and JB1 ports of a ZedBoard as shown in
2. Connect the +24V power supply positive terminal and the ground terminal to the
+24V and the PGND connectors on the Alameda board, respectively.
3. Connect one end of the 750
Ω load resistor to the OUT1 connector on the
Alameda board. Connect the other end of the 750
Ω load resistor to the AGND1
connector on the Alameda board.
4. Verify that the JU1, JU3, JU5, and JU7 jumpers are on the 2-3 position.
5. Verify that the JU2, JU4, JU6, and JU8 jumpers are on the 1-2 position.
6. Connect the J14 USB connector of the ZedBoard to a PC. This connection is
used to communicate with a PC through a terminal program. See step 16 for
USB driver installation.
7. Connect the J17 USB connector of the ZedBoard to a PC. This connection is
used to program and debug the FPGA.
8. Power up the ZedBoard by sliding the SW8 switch on the ZedBoard to the ON
position.
