Run the Demonstration

Define the host PC IP address

A wired point to point connection between the host PC and the embedded target is required. Use the DHCP server utility to setup the host and target IP addresses. The target should be powered up for at least 30 seconds before the DHCP server utility is launched.

  • Find the dhcp_server folder which contains the DHCP Server,
  • Right-click the JESD204B_Demo.bat file and select Run As Administrator and agree to let it run (click Yes),
  • Follow the instructions in the DHCP server command window until you arrive to the screen below and select the option that represents the appropriate Ethernet controller. Note You may need to keep pressing the "Enter" key until the "Ethernet" port shows up.

In the example below option 2 is the correct choice:


  • Wait until it starts listening


  • IP address is allocated to the target


Launch IIO Oscilloscope

Note: IIO Oscilloscope creates a .osc_profile.ini file in the home directory. The next time IIO Oscilloscope is opened, the existence of this file delays connection to the target. It is recommended to delete the .osc_profile.ini (if it exists) prior to launching IIO Oscilloscope.

Launch IIO Oscilloscope

Double click the IIO Oscilloscope application icon on the host Windows PC.

Connect to the target

  • Select the Remote Devices option and enter the IP address 192.168.0.2 and click the Refresh button..
  • A successful connection results in discovery of the IIO devices. Press OK to continue.
    (Note that Refresh may have to be clicked more than once if the connection is not successful)

Profile and Stream Configuration Settings

The IIO Oscilloscope includes option to configure stream and profile configurations to select the desired mode of operation for ADRV9002. Users can specify, through the GUI, the stream and profile configuration files to run on that device configuration.
