Advanced Bring-up Using the Base Targeted Reference Design
Evaluating the Kintex-7 FPGA Base TRD
The Kintex-7 FPGA Base TRD provides a Performance and Status monitor application and
GUI. The application enables customers to evaluate different system parameters. This
section demonstrates performance variances for the PCI Express and DMA interfaces
based on the parameters set.
To evaluate the Kintex-7 FPGA Base TRD:
1. Launch the Performance Monitor for the Kintex-7 FPGA Base TRD.
a. Navigate to the k7_pcie_dma_ddr3_base folder.
b. Double-click k7_lin_trd_quickstart (Figure 22)—make sure that the script
has executable permission—to launch the Performance Monitor and Status GUI.
c. A window prompt appears as shown in Figure 23. Click Run in Terminal to
proceed.
