TICSPRO-SW: TICS Pro" GUI tool to configure the TI "LMK04208 and LMX2594

Part Number: TICSPRO-SW
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB2ANY, LMK04208, LMX2594
Hi Experts,
Good day! I am posting this in behalf of the customer.Please check the full details of inquiry below.
I am using the "TICS Pro" GUI tool to configure the TI "LMK04208 and LMX2594" devices used in the Xilinx/AMD ZCU111 Eval Board. However, I am not sure if I am actually configuring these TI devices, as the "TICS Pro" tool is not detecting any "USB2ANY" interfaces, even though I have a USB connected to the "USB JTAG UART" connection on the ZCU111 Eval Board. I want to be sure I am using this "TICS Pro" tool correctly with the correct interfaces, so I need some technical support on the same.
P.S: Please see relevant snapshot below:
Please respond asap, at your earliest convenience to resolve this issue.
Best regards,
Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,

    TICS Pro tool does not currently support communication through the USB JTAG UART interface on the ZCU111 board. The ZCU111 is a tool that was put together independently by Xilinx/AMD or a development team contracted on their behalf, and while TI provided some design support we did not plan any software integration. TICS Pro, meanwhile, was designed for EVM usage.

    If you want to use TICS Pro with the ZCU111, there's two means to do so:

    1) Generate the desired configuration while TICS Pro is disconnected from the board, then use the File -> Export Hex Registers option to export hex register settings and load them to the device manually by some means. I suspect the system controller GUI has a mechanism to accept the hex register file output from TICS Pro, but I have never used the software myself and cannot confirm.

    2) Using a discrete USB2ANY, bypass the on-board SPI connections and connect the discrete USB2ANY to the board instead. This will break functionality in the system controller GUI until the SPI lines are restored, and may have an impact on the verification of other ADC/DAC configuration options, but it should still be possible to operate the clock generator and synthesizer independently of the rest of the circuitry on the board.

    Regards,
