ALPHA DATA ADM-PA100 Versal ACAP Accelerator Board

The components on this board can be damaged by Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). To prevent damage, observe SSD precautions:

Always wear a wrist strap when handling
the card
Hold the board by the edges
Avoid touching any components
Store in ESD safe bag

Initial installation sequence

Ensure boot mode is set to SD Card – SD 3.0 (SW1-1 to SW1-4: ON, OFF, OFF, OFF). Ensure other switches are in factory default positions (see switch table below).
Ensure the host machine is off, including standby power, using the mains power switch on the host machine.
Plug ADM-PA100 into the PCIe slot in the host machine.
Connect the PCIe auxiliary power cable of the host machine to ADM-PA100 – External PSU Socket (6).
Connect the micro-USB cable from the development machine to ADM-PA100 – USB either (3) or (8) below.
Power on the host machine.
Use a terminal emulator, e.g. TeraTerm, to connect to ACAP UART (via micro-USB cable) and check for Linux command prompt – 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. Login is automatic (no password).
