TSW1400 firmware

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS58H40EVM, DAC3482, ADS4249, ADS58H40

Thanks for your kindly help. I have ADS58H40EVM and TSW1400EVM. I want to use TSW1400EVM to test ADS58H40EVM.I have installed "High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI Installer, v2.0 (Rev. D) and can connect to the TSW1400. I can select ADS58H40  and capture Data.Now I want to develop my own firmware and do something. I have successfully installed software(quartus 12.1) on my computer and compilerd project ads4249_dac3482_interfaces. Then i have the firmwre file ads4249_dac3482.rbf. Then i find the file size is only 1,953,023 Bytes, but all the installed firmware file size are 5,979,169 Bytes.When I try to download my ads4249_dac3482.rbf,the TSW1400EVM can't recognize it.

  • Hi Yunjiang,

    Where did you get that firmware?  V2.0 does not contain this RBF file.

    Did you compile it from this?

  • Hi Yunjiang,

    I just checked and the compiled firmware should be about 5-6MB as the other firmwares.  Do you have the correct setup on the Quartus setup to target Stratix IV?  Also normally by default the output of a compile is a SOF file and you need to specifically set the compiler to generate the RBF file.  Please make sure you enable this option.

    Can you confirm if you if you have the proper setup in Quartus to target the Stratix IV device?

    Ken.

  • That is my compiler result and my output result. I have set the quartus software device and check it.But my *.rbf file size is not correct.

  • Hi Yunjiang,

    How are you creating the RBF file? If I remember correctly, the RBF file is not created during compilation. Instead, you need to first compile the project which creates the sof file. Then you go to "File -> Convert Programming Files" to generate the RBF. Are you doing this? If so, can you share a screenshot of the settings in that window?

    Thanks,
    Matt Guibord 

  • Thanks Ken, When I use the method you told me,the RBF file size is ok now.After i download the new file,the config_LED is on.

    The snapshot is my old method.

    Thanks again.
