    Pablo,

    I split this and moved it to the Data converters forum since MSP doesn't actually make this EVM - hopefully the team there will be able to better help you. Thanks for providing feedback!

    Hi Pablo,


    After downloading the software (snoc021.zip) unzip the file and install the software.  If you use the default installation location the file will be in the

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Texas Instruments\DAC161S055\Firmware

    directory.  It will be called: dac12xSxxx_fw-v0.87.txt

    Dear Pablo;

    If I remember correctly, there was an error made with regard to a file name in the TI *.pdf literature and the correct file name that you see when you download the TI program. I made two posts about deboxing the DAC161S055EVM. I will try to provide you with a link to these discussions when I locate that link.

    I had a lot of problems with this kit.

    I have found the start up kit programs to be difficult to work with.

    Tell me if you detect a lot of current going to the ground pin of your oscilloscope (arcing).

    If you do not own an oscilloscope, the probability that you will get this kit working in a time efficient manner is very, very, poor. Better documentation - standalone working programs - are needed.  When I use the term "standalone" program, I mean a program that does not require to be interfaced to a GUI or any other interface - a simple program that downloads directly from the CCS IDE to the Launchpad and as a result the booster pack works - no other program necessary.
