ADS5560EVM: 430080004

Part Number: ADS5560EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HSADC-SPI-UTILITY, , ADS5560

Dear TI experts,

i'm trying to set the registers of the ADS5560EVM through the HSADC-SPI-Utility Software. But get an Error as seen in the picture below.

I have come up with two possible reasons for this. First the i have the wrong USB driver installed or second the usere's guide speaks about 4 jumpers you have to configure for it to work but only lists 3 jumper changes. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Kind regards

Marcel

  • Marcel,

    Makes the jumpers are configured as follows:

    JP12 pins 2-3

    JP11 pins 2-3

    JP9 pins 2-3

    J1 open

    J2 pins 1-2

    J3 pins 1-2

    Make sure to press the rest switch, SW1, before attempting to program the device.

    Regards,

    Jim

  • Hello Jim,

    thank you for your response. I had still had a Jumper on J1 pins 7-8, which i thought shoudnt matter when i looked at the scematic since JP9's Jumper is on Pins 2 and 3.

    I had the same configuration for the rest of the pins like you discribed. Sadly the Error Message still remains even after the change.The jumper configuration can be checked in the picture.

    I have also tried all possible sequences i could think of regarding the reset switch SW1 hopeing it would have an impact. Pressing it before or after connecting the EVM Board to the PC and before or after i started the program with no change.

    Kind Regards

  • Marcel,

    Make sure to apply 6V to J7 and have the following jumpers set:

    JP17 Installed

    JP16 pins 1-2

    JP19 pins 2-3

    I noticed these were out of order on the board I had and was able to connect to the GUI once making these changes.

    Regards,

    Jim

  • Hello Jim,

    i already set the jumpers for the Power Supply Option 1 and have applied 6,5 V on J7.

    The device manager shows a connectioin to a USB Serial Port after plugging it into the PC. So its at least finding the EVM board. There is a list with different settings for the USB Serial Port (bits per second, data bits, parity, stop bits, flow control). I have tried some options but it didnt change the Error message i get.

    Kind Regards

  • Marcel,

    You should not have to change any USB settings. Monitor Device Manager and plug the USB cable in and out. You should see a change in the USB connections. The new one that gets added when you plug the cable in should have no issues. Click on it to verify it is operating properly. See attached file.

    You can also try running the GUI as system administrator to see if this helps. 

    Run FT_PROG to verify the USB device is enumerated properly. The software is attached. Follow the test procedure that is also attached. The result should look like what is shown in this file.FT Prog ADS5560.zip

    Measure the voltage at JP19 pin 2. This should be 5V.

    Try another computer.

    If all fails, you may need to request a replacement board.

    Regards,

    Jim

  • Hello Jim,

    as you suggested i have tried different PCs and cables to no avail. The 5V at JP19 is also present.

    But the FT_PROG gave me a different result than shown in the file. The eeprom seems to be empty. Do you have a file or a manual to resolve this?

    Kind Regards

    Marcel

  • Marcel,

    Follow the attached instructions to program this EEPROM but use the ADS5560.xml file attached instead of the one called out in the instructions.

  • Hello Jim,

    thank you for your help. I’m now able set the registers using the TI ADC SPI Interface. Can you provide an explanation as to why the EEPROM wasn’t programmed? And together with the EVM board we received a Disk, which probably should have included some software and documentation and maybe even this solution. But after trying it also on different PCs it’s empty and ready to be burned.

     

    Kind Regards

  • Marcel,

    We have a vendor that builds and tests our production EVM's. Every once in awhile, they sometimes ship boards without fully testing them. Since this board can operate in parallel mode (no GUI) required, I am guessing they may have forgotten to program the FTDI device. Probably was the same issue with the CD if there was nothing on it. Sorry for this inconvenience.

    Regards,

    Jim
