DS90UR905/906EVM - Using Analog Launch PAD

Guru 19775 points
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ALP, DS90UR241, DS90UR124, USB2ANY

Hi Team,

I would like to change the register value using the Analog Launch PAD (ALP).

Does ALP support DS90UR905 and 906 EVMs ?

If it does, which profile should be programmed to the SPA Dongle ? I could not find the profile for DS90UR905 or 906.

I would appreciate if you could also tell me if ALP could support DS90UR241/124, too.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Kawai

  • Hi Kawai,

    For the 906, you can use the DS90UR916 profile. The registers for the 916 are a superset of the 906, with an extra register 0x15 that isn't used on 906. 

    For the 905, there isn't a profile available, but you can use the Scripting tab of any profile to send commands when connected to the 905. For example, if the 905 address is 0x6A, then you could write 'board.WriteI2C(0x6A, regIndex, regVal)'

    You could do the same for DS90UR124/241.

    Please note that for these EVM's, you will need an Aardvark or other USB/I2C interface. The USB ports on the boards are for the serial data, and not meant to be connected to a PC.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Jason-san,

    I apologize for my delay. Thanks for the answers.

    To connecting to the PC, I know that "SPA Dongle" would be the USB/I2C interfacing board.

    If you use Aardvark, can you change the profiles using ALP for each devices ? I was thinking that ALP may not be able to support Aardvark.

  • Kawai-san,

    ALP supports using an Aardvark. The way to change the profile when using an Aardvark is slightly different than when using a SPA board.

    Instead of going to 'EEPROM Setup', use the tab 'USB2ANY / Aardvark Setup'

    Then you can 'Add' the desired profile from the list. If there is already one defined, you need to 'Remove' it before adding a new one.

    Thanks,
    Jason

  • Hi Jason-san,

    I understood, thanks for the information.
