Quick Start

Follow the instructions below to install the RFSoC Studio on your development board. You will need to give your board access to the internet.

• Power on your RFSoC2x2 or ZCU111 development board with an SD Card containing a fresh PYNQ v2.7 image.
• Navigate to Jupyter Labs by opening a browser (preferably Chrome) and connecting to http://<board_ip_address>:9090/lab.
• We need to open a terminal in Jupyter Lab. Firstly, open a launcher window as shown in the figure below:

• Now open a terminal in Jupyter as illustrated below:

• Firstly, ensure all packages are uninstalled.

pip3 uninstall -y rfsoc-sam rfsoc-freqplan rfsoc-ofdm rfsoc-qpsk rfsoc-radio pynq-agc pystrath-dsp pystrath-rfsoc rfsoc-studio

• We can now install the RFSoC Studio. This will install all of the above projects and notebooks, and will also add a few additional notebooks.

pip3 install git+https://github.com/strath-sdr/[email protected]

Once the installation has complete, your Jupyter home workspace will be populated with several folders installed by each package. You can access the rfsoc-studio folder and open the getting started notebook to begin using all of the demonstrations and educational resources.
