FTP 10G Server FPGA Setup

Rev2.1　3-Jul-23

This document describes how to setup FPGA board and prepare the test environment for running FTP 10G Server demo on FPGA development board by using FileZilla version 3.45.1 as FTP client. NVMe SSD is applied as the storage for storing file transferred with TestPC by using FTP protocol via 10Gb Ethernet. User sets the test parameters on FPGA and monitors the hardware status via Serial console.

1 Environment Requirement

To run FTP Server demo, please prepare following test environment.

1) FPGA development board: KCU105, ZCU106, or ZCU102

2) Test PC with 10 Gigabit Ethernet support or 10 Gigabit Ethernet card with the installed program as follows:

· Vivado tool for program the FPGA

· FileZilla version 3.45.1 to be test application

· Serial console software such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm installed on PC. The setting on the console is Baudrate=115,200, Data=8-bit, Non-parity, and Stop=1.

3) 10 Gb Ethernet cable:

a) 10 Gb SFP+ Passive Direct Attach Cable (DAC) which has 1-m or less length

b) 10 Gb SFP+ Active Optical Cable (AOC)

c) 2x10 Gb SFP+ transceiver (10G BASE-R) with optical cable (LC to LC, Multimode)

4) The PCIe adapter board (AB18-PCIeX16, AB17-M2FMC or AB16-PCIeXOVR) provided by Design Gateway

5) NVMe SSD connecting to PCIe adapter board

6) Two micro USB cables connecting between FPGA board and PC (one for programming FPGA and another for Serial console)

7) Xilinx power adapter for FPGA board

8) ATX power supply for AB18-PCIeX16 adapter board

2 FPGA board setup

1) Power off system.

2) Check board configuration as follows,

i) On KCU105 and ZCU105 board, insert jumper to enable Tx SFP+

- For KCU105 board, insert jumper to J6

- For ZCU102 board, insert jumper to J16

Figure 2‑1 Insert jumper to enable SFP+ on KCU105/ZCU102

ii) On ZCU106 and ZCU102, configure PS from JTAG by setting SW6=all ON

3) Setup and connect NVMe SSD to PCIe adapter board.

For KCU105, connect to AB18-PCIeX16 and AB16-PCIeXOVR.

i) Confirm that two mini jumpers are inserted at J5 connector on AB18.

ii) Connect ATX power supply to AB board.

iii) Connect PCIe connector on FPGA board to FPGA Side (A-side) and connect NVMe PCIe SSD to device side (B-Side) on AB board, as shown in Figure 2‑3.

Caution: Please confirm that the SSD is inserted in the correct side of AB18 (B-side, not A-side) before power on system

Figure 2‑3 Connect AB18-PCIeX16 to KCU105

For ZCU106/ZCU102, connect to AB17-M2FMC.

i) Connect M.2 NVMe SSD to Drive#1 M.2 connector on AB17-M2FMC.

ii) Connect AB17-M2FMC to HPC/HPC1 connector on ZCU106(J5) or ZCU102(J4) as shown in Figure 2‑4.

6) Turn on power switch on FPGA development board, and then turn on power switch on the adapter board, as shown in Figure 2‑7.

Figure 2‑7 Turn on power switch on FPGA and adapter board

7) Open Serial console. When connecting FPGA board to PC, many COM ports from FPGA connection are detected and displayed on Device Manager.

In case of KCU105, select Standard COM port.

In case of ZCU106/ZCU102, select COM port number of Interface0.

On Serial console, use following setting: Buad rate=115,200, Data=8-bit, Non-Parity, and Stop = 1.

Figure 2‑8 Select and set COM Port

8) Download configuration file and firmware to FPGA board

For KCU105, configure FPGA by using Vivado, as shown in Figure 2‑9.
