DAC348x programming under Linux

Ian Davis2

Hi

I'm using the DAC348x GUI under Windows to program my EVM over USB. I have a settings file and just "load and send".  My system also contains an ARM processor running Linux with USB support, so I'd love to remove my Windows laptop and perform the DAC programming under Linux instead.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Ian

    Hi,

    The current DAC348x GUI has only been tested in Windows XP/7 environment. You may want to look into a virtual machine in Linux to support the DAC348x GUI. 

    If you have modules that can support SPI bus and runs under Linux environment, you can probably use the module to talk to the DAC directly using the following jumpers:

    JP8, JP9, JP12, and JP13. These allows you to access the SPI bus of the DAC directly.

    Thanks Kang

    Your two ideas might be possible, but may be more work than the idea I've just had....

    I have fixed settings so I don't really need the GUI, I just need to know the translation between the data stored in the settings file and the data transmitted over USB, and I could then write a Linux script/program to perform this translation. So, I could do with ideally some source code from the GUI that performs this task, or some detail on the aforementioned translation?
