RFSoC 4x2 Quick Start

1) Plug in the power cable, insert the SD card. Set the boot option to SD and turn it on.

2) The display reads "RFSoC-PYNQ No IP detected"

3) Connect to your machine with an ethernet cable. The message doesn't change.

4) Now we need to set up a DHCP server on your machine. My machine is Windows so this is what these instructions will be for. Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center. You should see an "Unidentified Network." Select "Ethernet." Select "Properties" then "Internet Protocol Version 4" and select "properties." Set the IP address. I used 192.168.68.1 Set the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 Now download tftpd32 from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/ and do the usual install wizard stuff to install it. When you start the program go to settings and select the DHCP tab. Set the "IP pool start address" to 192.168.68.100, set "size of pool" to 20, set "Def. router" and "WINs server" to 192.168.68.1, set "Mask" to 255.255.255.0, and hit ok!

5) You should now reboot the 4x2. After it does its thing you should see "IP Addr(eth0): 192.168.68.100" on the display.

6) Connect to the board by going to http://192.168.68.100 on your machine. Log into the Jupyter page with the password "xilinx"

7) You should see some folders and a notebook called Welcome to Pynq.ipynb Celebrate! and enjoy all the example notebooks
