A user can log into the Linux root filesystem running on the Zynq-based brain of the device to program whatever sort of test sequencing is needed or add capabilities for peripherals to the SDP3450 such as a USB Wi-Fi dongles.įor this demonstration I am using the standard boot mode (also the default boot mode) which means the ADP3450 will boot up and look for a host PC connection via either USB or Ethernet connection to take commands for measurements to be performed from the host software, WaveForms, that is installed on the host PC. The ADP3450's Linux boot mode makes is unique as it moves the control of the device back onto the device itself. Standard boot mode is what we are used to seeing in digital test equipment like this where the controlling GUI and any test sequencing is done on a host PC with the control interface being over a USB or Ethernet connection.

The ADP3450 has two main boot modes: standard boot and Linux boot, along with recovery boot options for both standard boot and Linux boot.

It can be connected to from a host PC via either a serial COM port USB connection or SSH Ethernet connection.

The ADP3450 is an FPGA-based mixed signal oscilloscope with four high resolution oscilloscope channels, two waveform generator channels, two external input trigger channels, and 16 digital I/O pins for logic analyzer functionality.
