USB2ANY: unable to update the firmware on my USB2ANY

Part Number: USB2ANY
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LMX2592EVM,

I am unable to update the firmware on my USB2ANY when interfacing with an LMX2592EVM. I have followed the instructions provided in the forum below and I am still not able to open TICS without crashing or connect to the USB2ANY that came in the box. The post below claims the USB2ANY is broken and that it must be replaced.

  • Alexandre,

    Can you be more specific about what happens? You say TICS Pro crashes, which sounds unusual. There may be an issue getting the USB2ANY to update from TICS Pro, which could be a TICS Pro installer issue and could potentially be solved with the default Firmware Loader tool provided in the USB2ANY SDK. This is the tool we use to flash the USB2ANY before distribution with our EVMs.

    USB2ANY SDK link is located here: https://e2e.ti.com/support/amplifiers-group/amplifiers/f/amplifiers-forum/799340/usb2any-usb2any-use-usb2any-dll-in-own-software-gui-project

    See if you can use the USB2ANY firmware loader included with the SDK in the link above to properly get 2.7.0.0 onto the USB2ANY. After installing the SDK, in C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\USB2ANY Explorer\bin\ there should be a firmware loader binary. The file above should come with 2.7.0.0 firmware by default.

    If that doesn't work, I will agree the USB2ANY is broken and needs to be replaced. If it does work, consider re-downloading TICS Pro installer - maybe your installation was somehow corrupted? For reference, our MD5 of the installer executable is 641c1b0587af8198a75816cf56fb26ba.

  • Hi Derek,

    I was able to successfully program the USB2ANY using the SDK. I am now able boot TICS and the USB2ANY device is now connected. Thank you.

    Kind regards,
