1 Power Advantage Tool

Known 2019.1 Issues:
(1) The MSP430 source builds the compatible MSP430 version, but may not support all MSP430 TI Code Composer Studio debug features.

Note: The Power Advantage Tool now takes control of the APU serial port if available. To give user control of the APU terminal, close the Power Advantage Tool, then launch the following script to open terminals, then open the Power Advantage Tool again. The Power Advantage Tool will complain that "No APU UART available", but just close that message.

1.1 Launching the Power Advantage Tool Control Console

Warning: If you have connected Micro USB (UART) (J83) to PC for the first time, or switched boards, you may need to wait a few minutes for the PC to recognize the new hardware. Then you can open the Power Advantage Tool.

Launch the Power Advantage Tool Shortcut at C:\ZynqUS_Demos\2019.1_Demos\ZynqusPowerTool.exe ZCU111 Shortcut.
In a few seconds, you should see a Power Advantage Tool Control Console window with a Power Report. The Power numbers should update every few seconds.
If it is not displayed properly, refer to “Common Setup Issues”, and debug until the “Power Advantage Tool is alive” before returning here to continue.

1.2 Getting to Know the Power Advantage Tool Control Console

After successfully launching the Power Advantage Tool, you should see the following Power Advantage Tool Control Console window (may take a few seconds):

This interface is important to most of the demonstrations, so it would be good to familiarize yourself with it. Take a moment to identify the following:

• Zoom Display (transparent button [ ]) (A) resizes to fill a 1920x1080 display.
• Close (transparent button [X]) (B)
• Minimize (C)
• Select (D) Selects the display mode (Rails, Plot, About contains the version number)
• Preset (E) Not supported in this version.
• Block Diagram of Zynq (F) shows the current device state.
• Power Totals for various domains (G) (Note: There can be a few seconds delay for measurement and update.)

Here is a Table of the Rails for ZCU111:

• VCCINT – PL Core Rail
• VADJ_FMC – Main FMC Rail
• MGTAVCC – Receiver and Transmitter Internal
• VCCINT_AMS – ADC and DAC Digital Logic
• DAC_AVTT – DAC Termination
• DAC_AVCCAUX – Analog for the custom DAC block
• ADC_AVCC – Digital for the custom ADC block
• 
  ADC_AVCCAUX – Analog for the custom ADC block
