AFE5832LP: Purpose of EEPROM in Swroop Board

AFE5828: High Speed Data Converter Pro Support

Part Number: AFE5828

Hello,

I am working on a custom ultrasound receiver board based on the AFE5828 (client‑provided hardware). I am trying to use HSDC Pro for hardware bring‑up and data capture; however, the tool does not detect the AFE on this board.

I understand that HSDC Pro relies on FPGA firmware and device‑specific plugins rather than performing a generic SPI discovery. With that in mind, I would like clarification on the following:

  1. Is AFE5828 officially supported by HSDC Pro when used on a custom board (not the AFE5828 EVM)?
  2. If not, does HSDC Pro support AFE5828 only when used with the TI AFE5828 EVM and its corresponding FPGA image?
  3. For a custom AFE5828‑based design, what changes are required to make it compatible with HSDC Pro?
    • Is a specific FPGA reference design or firmware required?
    • Are there any HSDC Pro plugins, scripts, or example projects available for AFE5828?
    • Can HSDC Pro be used purely as a data capture / visualization tool if AFE configuration and LVDS framing are already handled in the FPGA?
  4. If HSDC Pro is not intended to be used with custom AFE5828 designs, what is the recommended TI workflow for bring‑up and validation (for example, validating the AFE using the AFE5828 EVM and then verifying the custom board separately)?

    Hi,

    HSDC Pro GUI works for data capture of AFE5828 device only when TSW1400 FPGA and TI-AFE5828 EVM are used. To answer the questions asked:

    1. HSDC Pro does not support data capture of custom AFE5828 EVM.

    2. HSDC Pro works only for TSW1400 capture card and TI AFE5828 EVM or similar FTDI configuration based SPI write on custom board are available.

    3. To make it work with custom board the following need to be done:

    a) TSW1400 FPGA is must for LVDS-interface based data capture. 

    b)  Custom board must have FTDI chip for SPI write to AFE5828. FTDI handle of this must be "AFE5828vAEVM".

    4. Same as Point 3
