ADS1278EVM-PDK: Error installing PHI drivers

Part Number: ADS1278EVM-PDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADS1278, ADS127L11EVM-PDK

Tool/software:

Hello,

Im running into an error trying to get the eval software up and running. The core of the problem is the PHI drivers are not installing correctly. Ive tried on two different machine. The primary machine is a windows 10 pro 22h2 OS build 19045.4291

It was complaining about not dpinst xml file (although i dont think that is the crux of the issue) so i copied it from the 32 bit subfolder in the phi directory under c:\programfilesx86/texasinstruments/ads1278/

Then the error message changed to the below



Any tips for getting this installed or an alternate driver package to get winusb working?

Thanks!
Julian

  • Hello Julian,

    We had an earlier version of the ADS1278 GUI that did not include all necessary packages for the PHI driver.  This should have been fixed on the latest build.  

    Question:  Did you just download the latest version of the GUI, v2.2.1?

    Also, the ADS1278 GUI uses the same drivers as the ADS127L11EVM-PDK.  As a possible workaround, please install the ADS127L11EVM-PDK-GUI first, and then install the ADS1278V2EVM-PDK-GUI next.  This should fix the issue.
