DAC38J82EVM: DAC3XJ84 Firmware

I have tried different options right now, the ones that worked before. However, they did not work as well.

Hello Abdurrahman,
Can you tell me what revision of TSW14J56 board you have?
For revB a longer firmware download time is expected (maybe up to 2 min)
For revD it is a few seconds

The download should not fail. A failed download would typically be due to a driver problem on the Host PC. I would work through some common driver debug routine to diagnose (power cycle, uninstall drivers, reinstall)

Regards,
Brian

Thank you Brian for you reply,

Mine is revD.
It used to be very fast, but after I tried to select a different DAC from Select DAC drop down using matlab automation DLL, it starts to fail every time.

Abdurrahman,
Are you able to share the section of MATLAB code that you use to initialize HSDC Pro and select the DAC?

Regards,
Brian

Yes, sure.

Thank you so much for your help,

Thanks a lot !
