This document describes SATA-IP Device evaluation procedure on ZC706 using SATA-IP Device reference design bit-file.

 

1       Environment

 

 For real board evaluation of Device reference design, environment shown in Figure 1‑1 is required.

Note: For evaluation version, IP-Core has 1-hour time limitation to use. After 1-hour use, IP-core will stop any data transfer.

 

 

2       Evaluation procedure

 

l  Check all system is power off

l  Connect AB07-USB3FMC board, provided by Design Gateway to FMC-HPC connector (J37) 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 J21 on ZC706 to USB Port on PC for Serial Console

l  Connect USB micro B cable on U30 of ZC706 to USB Port on PC for JTAG programming

l  Connect Power cable to ZC706 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  Copy “ready_for_download” folder to PC for programming configuration and firmware.

l  Open “ISE Design Suite Command Prompt” and change working directory to “ready_for_download” folder.

l  Type “zc706_device.bat” to start downloading configuration file and the firmware. On the console, “Successfully downloaded bit file” is displayed when configuration finish, and “Download Progress .10.20 … 90.Done” is displayed when firmware downloading finish, as shown in Figure 2‑2 and Figure 2‑3 consecutively

3       Operation Test on OS

 

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 3‑2. 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.
