SATA-IP Device Demo Instruction on KC705
Rev1.0 20-Jun-13
This document describes SATA-IP Device evaluation procedure on KC705 using SATA-IP Device reference design bit-file.
For real board evaluation of Device reference design, environment shown in Figure 1 is required.
Figure 1 Device Evaluation environment using reference design bit-file
Note: For evaluation version, IP-Core has 1-hour time limitation to use. After 1-hour use, IP-core will stop any data transfer.
l Check all system is power off
l Connect AB07-USB3FMC board, provided by Design Gateway to FMC-LPC connector (J2) to use SATA connector on the board
l Connect SATA cross cable or SATA standard cable with AB02-CROSSOVER, provided by Design Gateway, between SATA3 connector on Host PC and on USB3FMC.
l Connect USB mini B cable from J6 on KC705 to USB Port on PC for Serial Console
l Connect USB micro B cable on U29 of KC705 to USB Port on PC for JTAG programming
l Connect Power cable to KC705 board and then power up.
l Open serial monitoring software such as HyperTerminal. Terminal settings should be (Baud Rate=115,200 Data=8 bit Non-Parity Stop=1).
l Download bit-file to KC705 by using iMPACT Software.
l After FPGA start operation, check GPIO LEDs status on KC705 board at LED0-LED2 that all ON, as shown in Figure 2. Each LED description is described as follows.

Table 1 LED Status of device reference design on KC705 board
l At serial console on PC, “Start SATA device design” and “Link up” will be displayed as shown in Figure 3. Now new disk is ready for Host PC.
Figure 3 Main Menu of host demo
l Open Device Manager on Windows7. New SATA-Device disk (DG2013 SATA Device) will be shown in “Disk drives” if the Motherboard enables Hot-plug support.
l In case Motherboard does not support auto-detect device from Hot-plug, right-click mouse at Disk drives icon and then select “Scan for hardware changes” to start new disk detection.

l Select Computer Management -> Disk Management and Pop-up menu will be displayed as shown in Figure 5. Click “OK” button to start initialize disk.
Note: If this pop-up menu is not displayed, please try to close and reopen Disk Management again.
Figure 5 Initialize New Disk
l After that, new 768 MB disk which is unallocated will be displayed as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6 Initialize Disk Completed
l Create new partition by right-click mouse at unallocated disk, and select “New Simple Volume…”. After that, “New Simple Volume Wizard” will be displayed. Click “Next” button to continue next step.
Figure 7 Create New Partition on New Disk
l Click “Next” button for 3 times to continue next step, and then click “Finish” button for last step to start Format disk.
Figure 8 Format menu setup
l Wait until format completed, new drive is ready to use, as shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9 Format Complete
l Now disk can be read/write by file system operation. Figure 10 shows disk performance by using CrystalDiskMark benchmark.
