Problem loading firmware for ADC12J4000EVM onto TSW14J56 Rev D

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: ADC12J4000EVM

I recenlty procured bot a TSW14J56 Rev D and ADC12J4000EVM evalation module to assert performance of the AD12J4000 for our purposes.

However, having followed to procedures as set out in the ADC12J4000EVM module, I am having difficulty in loading the correct firmware onto the FPGA using the supplied software. Once I have selected what I believe to be the correct ADC, I get the following error message:

I followed the proper installation instructions, i.e. firstly in installed the High Speed Data Converter Pro Software (version 4.4), after wich i installed the ADC12J4000EVM GUI software (version 1.0).

I follow the following easy steps.

1) Open the Data Converter Pro software:

2) Once the board is selected, it is possible to see the device connected and the firmware version:

3) The next step was to select the ADC12J4000EVM:

4) When I click on the 'YES' for update firmware, I get the following error.

5) Below please find the version information for both pieces of software:

I have also tried this on a different machine, to confirm that it is not a problem with my software setup locally.

I will appreciate it dearly if you anybody can assist with this problem. Or steer me in the correct direction?

Kind Regards

Paul,

Please try the following steps:

Run HSDC Pro as administrator
Check TSW14J56RevD power supply – should be 5V/5A
Without connecting the ADC board to TSW board, try the steps done early by the user. At-least the FW should get downloaded without any issues.
If possible check with a Win 7 machine.

Regards,

Jim

Dear Jim, Thanks for the quick reply. I have tried administrator. I will attempt 2 & 3 soonest. I've limited the current to 900 mA from the PSU. I assume that was too little? With regards to point 4, I have executed this now on Windows 10 and 8. Can try it on 7 if all else fails.

Kind Regards
Paul

Paul,

You are going to need at least 2A once the board is up and running.

Dear Jim,

Increasing the current limit fixed the problem! I set the limit to 3.2 A, with a mean current usage of 1.6 A when in steady state.

Thanks for the quick help!

Kind Regards
