Avnet 4DSP FMC150 module reference design

alex263232 — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 14:06:22 GMT

Hello,

I am a student doing research with a Virtex-6 FPGA board which came with Avnet's 4DSP FMC150 ADC/DAC module, and I'm trying to run the DSP demo, but the website containing the files does not exist anymore and I can't seem to find the files anywhere. I've uploaded the guide, which should include the website link and zip folder I'm looking for at the top of page 12. Is there somewhere I can find these files, or somewhere where I can get something similar for my models of DSP and FPGA?

I emailed onlinesupportUS@avnet.com and they directed me here.

How to flash firmware to the Cortex-M33 core on MaaXBoard OSM93?

Manju123 — Mon, 11 Aug 2025 06:39:15 GMT

Hello,
I am working with the MaaXBoard OSM93, which has an NXP i.MX93 SoC containing both an application core and a Cortex-M33 real-time core.
I have compiled a firmware binary for the M33 core and would like to flash it to the board.

Could someone please guide me on:

The correct SW1 DIP switch or boot mode settings for entering Serial Download Mode or other modes suitable for programming the M33 core.
Whether I should use the NXP MCU-Link SWD/JTAG interface or the UUU tool for flashing the M33 core specifically.
The exact commands or scripts to flash a .bin or .elf file to the M33 domain.
Any sample M33 firmware projects or demos that can be used to verify successful flashing.

References to official documentation or proven step-by-step procedures would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Faulty PicoZed 7015_7030 Revision E Link

ajith.peter — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 17:27:55 GMT

I have been trying to download the PicoZed 7030 Schematics Revision E from the Avnet Picozed Website at https://www.avnet.com/americas/products/avnet-boards/avnet-board-families/picozed/

Under Schematics, the link in question is marked PicoZed 7015_7030 Schematics Rev E

But it is not pointing to the PDF and the page refreshes in response to a click on the link.

Can someone from Avnet please check.

Maaxboard osm93 pinout

Manju123 — Tue, 29 Jul 2025 06:39:51 GMT

I am working on a project using the MaaxBoard OSM93 (i.MX93) and want to use input capture functionality to measure the pulse width of an ultrasonic sensor (like HC-SR04).

I found that the NXP SDK provides TPM input capture examples, but I need help with the following:

How to configure the TPM input capture example correctly for the MaaxBoard OSM93?

How to choose a compatible GPIO pin that is mapped to a TPM channel?

How to read the captured timer values from the TPM peripheral?

I have already:

Imported the tpm_input_capture example from the SDK .

Connected my sensor to GPIOx_IOy, but it seems this GPIO does not have timer functionality.

What I need:

Guidance on how to identify which GPIO pins support TPM input capture on i.MX93.

Steps to configure the correct pin and TPM channel in the SDK example.

Code example or method to read and interpret the rising/falling edge capture values.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Avnet MaaXboard 8ULP Board Control Utilities (BCU) Support

danvs — Fri, 11 Jul 2025 15:30:12 GMT

I am currently using the Avnet MaaXBoard 8ULP and I am attempting to gather CPU power measurements using the NXP BCU tool located on their repository here. However, it seems like the current version of BCU does not support the MaaXBoard 8ULP. I was able to find the BCU repository from Avnet here that seems to support the MaaXBoard 8ULP. However, it seems like the branch that adds support for the board has not been merged with the master branch of BCU, meaning installing BCU via snap gives the version of BCU which still does not support the MaaXBoard. Is there a way I can use Avnet's branch to allow BCU to support the MaaXBoard in order for me to use it for CPU power measurements?

Memory mapping for ZuBoard 1CG

MATRIX7878 — Thu, 12 Jun 2025 06:58:03 GMT

Hello,

I am looking for a document (or anything) that has all the memory maps for the PS peripherals of the ZuBoard 1CG. I have several MIO peripherals and I want to know what address I need to use to access some of those locations. Where can I find this information?

Thank you

TDNext 1.26Mpixel Pmod Camera Kit

Hi, I want to use the AES-PMOD-TDM114-G camera module on the Eclypse Z7 board and I am trying to find some documentation on the module.
From this link above, I see that there where a starting guide and a few demos but they are on the zedboard.org site that is not loading and I suppose its older and its down now.
Is there a way for me to get these files and documentations for this module somehow?

Thank you in advance.

Download error

TN0 — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 13:26:26 GMT

Hi, I bought the AES-ACC-U96-ONCAM-MEZ three days ago from Farnell. I am trying to download the out-of-the-box boot image.

According to the Getting Started Guide, the boot image archive can be downloaded here: avnet.me/DualCameraMezz.

However, by clicking on this link, I get this error message:

"Load cannot follow more than 20 redirections" or ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

I have already tried successfully to download the factory oob for the avnet ultra96 (ultra96v2_oob_2020_1_210303_8GB). This was working, and I have also run it on the u96 bard successfully.

To understand if there was some problem with the browser or platform, I have tried the same with two different browsers and two different platforms.

I'm having problems to find the user's guide for the Avnet Virtex-II evaluation board

Former Member — Tue, 07 May 2024 16:15:37 GMT

Hi, I'm a master's student focus in embedded systems and I'm working with old FPGAs. I know, isn't recommended to use devices that nowadays are discontinued. But it's the only equipment that we have. I'm having problems to find the user's guide for the Avnet Virtex-II evaluation board, I only find the product brief PDF on the Internet Wayback Machine. Any clue of where can I find the user's guide?

Microzed intermittent Auto negotiation error

rdb98789 — Fri, 03 May 2024 14:38:27 GMT

I've been donig some bootup reliability testing on a Microzed that utilizes ethernet communications (lwip on bare metal). About 1 out of 25 power ups, I'm seeing:

Waiting for PHY to complete autonegotiation.
Auto negotiation error 
Phy setup error 
Phy setup failure init_emacps

Wondering if there is a known cause/solution, or what would be the correct way to handle this in code if this does happen? Is there a way in lwip to try again?

MicroZed power, USB and backplane?

rdb98789 — Thu, 02 May 2024 18:15:22 GMT

Hello, we have created a MicroZed carrier card that provides the 5V power source through the expansion connectors. However, we like to plug in the USB cable sometimes to see the serial printout. Some questions:

1) Is there any issue in having both supplies connected at once? So USB cable connected as well as the 5V regulator on our carrier card?

2) Is there any way to disable getting powered via USB? I'd like to test some power cycle reboot stuff while watching the USB UART data, but I need a true power cycle (including the carrier card components which is not powered by USB). Any recommendations?

ZedBoard PWM output issue

CJK15 — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 03:24:48 GMT

I am using a Zedboard to output a PWM signal through a Pmod port. I am using the example C code in vitis to create the PWM. There are functions to set the period and duty cycle, but no function to set the Vmax or Vmin. The current output Vmax is 1.16V and the current Vmin is -2.32V. I need the Vmax to be 5V and the Vmin to be 1.3V.

Is this something I need to write my own function for? If so, any ideas on where I should start? I read online that this could be controlled by manipulating clock frequencies, but I don't believe this is true.

Could changing the I/O standard of the pin change the output? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

SCE -MI interface support on zed -board

Awanish — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 04:57:24 GMT

Hi,

I recently procured zed-board zynq-7000 SoC.

I am having few questions related to the board-

SCE-MI are interface model to interface a simulator to a hardware, how can I have SCE-MI interface support with the zed-board?
How can I program my FPGA [zed-board] which is connected to the local PC from a vivado tool which is installed at a remote server?

Thanks,
