CDC7005-EVM: how to test CDC7005 EVM?

Part Number: CDC7005-EVM

Hi, I am trying to run this EVM and I am quite puzzled. 

First the EVM interface is a parallel port but no cable (to USB or similar) is provided or indicated anywhere. I have seen the SPI signals are also easily accessible.

Second, the software that is supposed to be used to run this board is just causing an error in my Windows 10 - This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way-   Any clue on this error? 

Finally I have try to see if the TICS pro supports this board with the hope of making my own interface from the USB2Any and the CDC7005-EVM board, but it seems the board is not supported. So, how am I suppose to evaluate this board?

    Hi,

    CDC7005 is an very old part and the provided GUI may not work with latest windows operation system (The software runs under Windows 2000 / XP / XP *64). TICS Pro also doesn't support this part.

    I would be recommending, the http://www.ti.com/tool/USB2ANY tool, which will directly interface the SPI signals to J28/J27 and can program the device. It will provide you a way to communicate from PC (USB) to SPI.

    Thanks!

    OK, that is exactly what I was thinking but then it means I need to program the EVM directly with no API support whatsoever. So I need to figure out the registers I need to initialize and how, right? Or is it some predefined sequence or similar that I can load through the USB2Any.

    Thanks!

    Hi Cesar,

    I could see the two ways like,

    1. Find the old operating system installed PC and install the GUI without error/issue and can configure the device.

    2. Need to look each register setting for required performance / operation and program through USB2ANY.

    Thanks!

    So I can use the USB2Any to connect to the SPI, but then do I need to get the SDK? Is there any easier interface just to send data through the SPI or I need to code it myself using the SDK

    Hi Cesar,

    Yes, USB2ANY can provide the interface to write registers through SPI but you need to configure / set all register yourself and write it. This has only four 32-bit registers that you need to set based on required settings. Unfortunately, there is no additional API support other than the GUI, which only works on old operating systems.

    Thanks!
