Hi.

I want to buy the ADALM-PLUTO hardware to taste some SDR algorithms. I saw in Analog Devices Wiki that I need a JTAG-USB converter to program the FPGA. My question is if I can program the whole Zynq device (PS and PL) using Matlab tools (like HDL coder, Simulink...) downloading the Communications System Toolbox Support Package for Analog Devices ADALM-Pluto Radio and using only the USB cable?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Alejandro,

Unfortunately there is no capability to program either the ARM processor or the FPGA fabric from our tools. The Pluto device has a very small FPGA which would severely limit any realistic algorithm. We are considering support for code generation to the ARM processor.

For more capabilities, you could consider one of the more capable Zynq-based radios.

Kind regards,

Neil

Theoretically we could create the automatic workflow to target this device, but it wouldn't be worthwhile us developing this as you couldn't do anything very meaningful. Any user could also develop the automatic workflow themselves, but it is a very advanced manoeuvre.

You could explore ADI's pages and try building your own FPGA image manually. This may be compatible with our tools, but I can't guarantee it I'm afraid.

The Zynq based radios I pointed you to earlier have the exact same RF front-end, so could be suitable for your purpose. The Pluto is really only meant as an I/O streaming device.

Cheers,

Neil
