Problem with ADS4225 GUI connecting with EVM board (typo corrected

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS4225

I am tryng to use the GUI for the ADS4225 EVM and it is not connecting to the EVM board after setting up the jumper per the directions in the ADS4225 EVM user's guide

  • Hi Mike,

    Sorry for the inconvenience. I checked an EVM here and it looks like the USB chip may not have been programmed during testing. After programming my board was able to connect to the GUI. It's fairly easy to program, so let's start there. If you have difficulties then we can look at an alternate solution. Please find a presentation below with instructions for programming the USB chip. The required template file for this EVM is also below. Let me know if you have any difficulties.
