Part Number: DAC9881EVM-PDK
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DXP, DAC9881

Hi, Gentlman:

I just want to check if you already fix the DAC9881EVM-PDK run in the win10. I run the GUI in the Win10 and meet the same problem mentioned in other thread. While in your previous reply, some feedback the PDK doesn't support Win10; some feedback say you run it in the win10; some feedback it related with Labview.

Anyway, I just confirm with you if the DAC9881EVM-PDK can work with the Win10 now? I confirm I already install lasted version and package you mentioned.

Thansk a lot and look forward your reply!

Hi Jinan,

I have seen the DXP tool work in windows 10 before, but it is not consistent with all machines. It is possible to get the MMB0 driver to be loaded by Windows 10 by disabling the "digitally signed" requirement at startup.

https://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

That being said, there can still be an incompatibility. I personally am not able to get DXP to function on my windows 10 PC. It can load the driver but errors out while loading the firmware. At this point, I recommend that if you want to evaluate the DAC9881 you should only use the smaller, stand-alone board. It has 100mil headers that can easily be connected to external power supplies and digital resources. This will allow you to do the evaluation but will require a bit more effort as you will need to program the digital controller to talk to the DAC (this could be an MCU like the MSP430 or Arduino, or a data generator).

Thanks,

Paul
