# Spectrum Analyser on PYNQ
This repository has been tested with [PYNQ image v3.1.1](https://github.com/Xilinx/PYNQ/releases) (Vivado 2024.1) for the following RFSoC development boards. Newer PYNQ versions may require different Vivado versions; please verify compatibility against the PYNQ release notes:
* [ZCU208](https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/zcu208.html),
* [ZCU111](https://www.xilinx.com/products/boards-and-kits/zcu111.html),
* [RFSoC4x2](http://rfsoc-pynq.io/),
* [RFSoC2x2](http://rfsoc-pynq.io/).
## Quick Start
Follow the instructions below to install the Spectrum Analyser now. **You will need to give your board access to the internet**.
* Power on your RFSoC development board with an SD Card containing a fresh PYNQ v2.7 image or greater.
* Navigate to Jupyter Labs by opening a browser (preferably Chrome) and connecting to `http://: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:
Run the code below in the jupyter terminal to install the Spectrum Analyser.
```sh
pip3 install git+https://github.com/strath-sdr/rfsoc_sam
```
Once installation has complete you will find the Spectrum Analyser notebooks in the Jupyter workspace directory. The folder will be named 'spectrum-analyzer'.
## Using the Project Files
The following software is required to use the project files in this repository.
- Vivado Design Suite 2024.1
- System Generator for DSP (MATLAB R2020a with Vivado Design Suite 2020.2)
### Vivado
This project can be built with Vivado from the command line. Open Vivado 2024.1 and execute the following into the tcl console:
```sh
cd //boards//rfsoc_sam/
```
Now that we have moved into the correct directory, make the Vivado project by running the make commands below sequentially.
```sh
make block_design
make bitstream
```
Alternatively, you can run the entire project build by executing the following into the tcl console:
```sh
make all
```
