TRF372017EVM controlled by own application

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TRF372017, TRF372017EVM

Hello,

My task is to develop an application package (API) for the TRF372017. Since our system hardware is not ready yet, I may use the TRF372017EVM instead.

Are there any sample code for using the EVM in a separate application?
How is the SPI interface to the TRF controlled from the PC?
Where to get the source code of TRF372017 EVM GUI or parts that describe the control of the TRF372017?

Regards
Melanie

    The EVM SPI can be accessed through two methods.

    First, the EVM can connect to a computer USB port. This is the most common usage in demo and evaluation situations. TI does not treat the GUI code as proprietary, and it can be shared with customers on a case-by-case basis. Such sharing is treated as an as-is piece of code with extremely limited support. It is written in LabView.

    Second, the EVM provides clip-on test points for direct access to the SPI lines. Customers can develop their own code and directly hardwire into the SPI ports.

    Hello Pete,
    Thanks for the quick reply.

    I want to implement a USB to SPI connection via the integrated FT245RL using the ftd2xx.dll, as you have done it.
    Hence my question: How did you solved the communication from the PC to SPI, as the FT245RL is a parallel converter? How does transmission of data packages from the PC to the ftd2xx.dll work?
    Whom should I contact for the corresponding Source Code?

    Regards
    Melanie

    Please send a direct email to hsprf_apps@list.ti.com to arrange for source code.

    Hello,

    Thanks Pete, I could finish my project with TRF372017 recently.
    Here are my results for the SPI interface of TRF372017EVM. The code worked perfectly in my system. I hope it can be helpful for others, too.

    I give no guarantee to the source code. Please treat it as an as-is code. Also, support will be very limited. Of course it is allowed to use and adapt the code for your purposes. 

    The Code is written in C, even if the file is cpp. In addition, the zip file contains the required Libarys (ftd2xx and stdint).

    Regards
    Melanie
