VCU108 Evaluation Kit
Quick Start Guide
The VCU108 Evaluation Kit contains all the necessary hardware, tools, and IP to evaluate and develop your Virtex®
UltraScale™ FPGA design. This guide provides instructions for running the VCU108 built-in self-test (BIST) and
installing the Xilinx tools.

Built-In Self-Test (BIST) Instructions
VCU108 Evaluation Kit
The built-in self-test FPGA
configuration file is stored
in the onboard BPI flash
memory.
X-Ref Target - Figure 1-2 STEP 1: Set Configuration Switches
Set the configuration mode DIP switch (SW16) so that the BIST file is loaded at
power-up from the BPI flash memory as shown below:
X-Ref Target - Figure 1-3
STEP 2: Connect Power to the Board
Connect the 6-pin power supply plug to J15, and power up the board using the
SW1 switch.
LED DS3 ON indicates that the power system is good.
DONE LED DS34 ON indicates that the Virtex UltraScale FPGA is configured
successfully.

X-Ref Target - Figure 1-4 STEP 3: Run the Built-In Self-Test
The BIST consists of a set of pass/fail tests. On power-up, the Clock, DDR, BRAM,
flash memory, and I2C tests are run without user input.
A passing test is indicated when the corresponding GPIO LED for each test is ON.
See the following table for the LED that corresponds to each test.
The DIP and PB tests require user interaction as described in the following section.
The blinking LED indicates which test is waiting for user input.
Self-Test Assignments for GPIO LEDs
X-Ref Target - Figure 1-5 The DIP switch test checks DIP switch SW12 operation. To complete the test, push
all four switches to the ON position.
A passing test is indicated when GPIO LED 2 is ON.
X-Ref Target - Figure 1-6 The PB test checks pushbutton operation.
To complete the test, push the N, W, S, and E pushbuttons in any order. Then push
the center button.
A passing test is indicated when GPIO LED 1 is ON.
X-Ref Target - Figure 1-7 To run the built-in self-test again, press SW4 (PROG).
