TLV320AIC3109-Q1: EVM Software Installation

Part Number: TLV320AIC3109-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLV320AIC3109EVM-K

Hi Team,

I am trying to get up and running with the TLV320AIC3109-Q1 EVM and am having a bit of an issue with the software.

Following the EVM User's Guide, I performed every step of section 3.1.

In section 3.2, after plugging in the EVM, I get stuck at Step 4. An initialization process never begins one I connect the EVM to my PC. Therefore, D2 never lights up for me.

I then followed step 5, and even went as far as looking at the Troubleshooting Guide. In section 3.2 of the troubleshooting guide, point 2(a) says that there should be a file in my C: drive (NiViUsbK.sys), but that file is not present.

If you can please advise to get the EVM up and running, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Jared,

    What version of windows are you using?  I assume you've installed the TLV320AIC310x GUI?

    a few things to check:

    Check that the USBMODEVM and the TLV320AIC3109EVM-k are properly connected.

    We did have some issues with the USBMODEVM jumper placements,  so make sure that JMP5, JMP6 and JMP7 are all in the proper place.

    jmp5: 2-3

    JMP6: 1-2

    JMP7: 1-2

    let me know on these things and we'll go to the next step.

    best regards,

    -Steve wilson

    Hi Steve Wilson,

    I am using Windows 7. I downloaded the EVM GUI, unzipped the file, and ran the executable. Then I went into the file folder AIC310x and ran the executable in that folder. The GUI pops up, but says to plug in USB. When I plug in the board, I do not get D2 to light up.

    All the jumpers are configured correctly. There are connected exactly like what is shown on page 5 of the EVM users guide.

    I am fairly confident this is a drivers issue since the USB connection is where the problem is. Any info I can provide you on that so you can point me in the right direction?

    Thank you,
    Jared

    Jared,

    Please take a look at the following link and follow the instructions there to see if that helps.  If that doesn't work we may just need to reinstall the firmware on the EVM. 

    best regards,
