TSW1400EVM: How to install the driver and download the program into the TSW1400EVM?

User,

When you install the High Speed Data Converter Pro GUI, this will install the drivers for you. This GUI can be downloaded from the following link:

www.ti.com/.../dataconverterpro-sw pro&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything

After the GUI connects to the TSW1400 and you select a target device to test, the GUI will program the FPGA.

Jim

I have installed the GUI, but it will display firmware download error when downloading my program(.rbf  file) to the TSW1400evm   board. Could you please tell me how to solve this problem.

User,

Make sure the 5V input source can provide at least 4A of current.

Jim

Can you tell me the correct steps to download my own program into the TSW1400EVM? Greatful

When I download the program that comes with the software, it is correct, as shown in the figure.

But when I download my own program, I get an error, as shown in the figure.

I connected the TSW1400EVM and ADS54RF63

User,

How did you create your rbf file? Did the sof target the correct FPGA used on this board? Can you send the rbf file?

See section 3.1.2 of the attached HSDC Pro GUI User's Guide for instructions on how to manually download firmware.

I am using the .rbf file generated by quartus,
Generate a .sof file by running the program, then generate the .rbf file in the image below.

I don't know if my method is correct. If it is not correct, please let me know the correct steps. Thank you very much.

User,

What is this .rar file you attached? Is this a renamed version of your rbf file? If so, why is it so small? Our typical rbf files are 5800KB. Why are you generating your own rbf files? What are you try to accomplish?

Regards,

Jim
