TSW14J57EVM: EVM needed

Emir,

What ADC or DAC or AFE board do you plan on testing with the TSW14J57EVM? 

Regards,

Jim

I will use ADC08DJ3200EVM. 

Dear Neeraj, that is not the issue, I have the appropriate ini files and my setup almost works correctly. I just need a spare TSW14J57EVM. It is not available for purchase (out of stock) at the moment. If you know a way to find one, that would be most helpful.

Emir,

What is the potential for this product? Do you have access to a TI sales rep? We may be able to send you a loaner or a board that only operates with limited memory. The TSW14J57EVM will be available sometime in the second quarter. Just waiting on the delivery of the FPGA's.

Regards,

Jim 

Hi Jim, 

thanks for the offer! It seems that there is no sales rep in Canada, how else can my colleagues get in touch with your sales and buy / loan a board? We are waiting since November on the board from any distributor.  

Emir,

Send me your address, include a phone number, and I will see if I can ship one directly to you.

Regards,

Jim

Great! Thanks, if you could ship one board to my colleague

Emir,

I would suggest placing an order for a TSW14J57EVM for now. If I do send a board, it will only work with internal FPGA memory which will limit the number of samples you can capture. This should allow you do some testing before the board you order comes in. This board will require you to load firmware manually using the GUI and the file you will need to load is called "TSW14J57RevE_16L_XCVR_ADCBRAMDACDDR.rbf", as shown below. 

Once you receive the new board, you can ship us back the one I send you.

Regards,

Jim 

Emir,

We also need an email for the shipping paperwork.

Jim

Please use karen@doriclenses.com to coordinate the shipment.

Hi Jim! Thanks, my colleagues received the board. It should be ok for tests without DDR. Do you know how many samples can the FPGA take in internal memory? 

Emir,

From the TSW14J57 Firmware Documents, we see that few firmwares uses 256KB, 512KB sizes of BRAM and a maximum of up to 2MB of BRAM size is used by TSW14J57revE_BRAM_RxOnly_16L_FIRMWARE. So, we assume the BRAM memory of J57 to be around 2MB.

Regards,

Jim
