AFE5818EVM: Firmware file for HSDCP v4.10

Part Number: AFE5818EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: AFE5818, , TSW14J57EVM

Tool/software:

Hello, unfortunately I am unable to find a High Speed Data Converter Pro version which comes with the AFE5818 firmware. Could you please direct me to a download site of the needed .rbf file for the AFE5818EVM? Or alternatively send me the needed firmware via email? This way I can add them manually to my working HSDCP version. This would be super helpful. All links found in previous forum questions don't seem to work anymore. Perhaps due to the discontinuation of the product. 

Again, thank you so much for your help.

Best, Benjamin Suter

    Hi,

    Did you try installing the hsdcpro from TI Website?

    Hi Sachin,

    Thank you so much for your reply. Yes, this is what I did. However, for the hsdcpro v5.2 AFE5818 is not listed in the firmware drop down menu. Also, if you check the supported products and hardware for the hsdcpro v5.2 both AFE5818 and TSW1400EVM are not listed.

    My student had downloaded the hsdcpro v4.0 six month ago, which at that point included the AFE5818 in the firmware drop down menu. But this is now no longer the case (at least when I redownload hsdcpro v4.0 now). That's why I was wondering if I can download the file containing the firmware for the AFE5818 somewhere or if TI could potentially provide the AFE5818 firmware, as it is compatible with the hsdcpro v4.0 (we have used it previously).

    My guess it, that the firmware is no longer included, as TI discontinued the TSW1400EVM
    (from TI website: TSW1400EVM (obsolete) is required for development when evaluating with AFE5818EVM. Do not purchase AFE5818EVM unless you already have TSW1400EVM.)

    Is there an alternative firmware compatible with the AFE5818EVM and TSW1400EVM setup? Maybe the firmware for the TSW14J57EVM? I think this is the replacement board for the TSW1400EVM but I am not completely sure.

    Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and help.

    Best, Benjamin

    Sorry, I'm stupid. I fount the hsdcpro v4.1 which has the AFE5815EVM listed as a supported product. I'll try downloading that and mark the issue resolved if all works out. :)

    So quick update... unfortunately even when downloading the hsdcpro v4.1 listed as supporting the AFE5818EVM, somehow no longer contains the AFE5818 option in the drop down menu for the firmware. So I'm back to square one. :')

    So my question is again, is there an alternative firmware compatible with the AFE5818 or is there an other possibility of obtaining the needed firmware?

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and help.

    All the best, Benjamin

    After installing the hsdcpro you need to install device gui in the system . After that you will be able to see the device in dropdown.
