DRV2065EVM firmware issue

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV2605, MSP430G2553
I am using the DRV2605 EVM for my project, I followed the guide on TI's website using a MSP430 launchpad to reprogram the evaluation kit. But somehow I wanna reset the kit by its original firmware, so I downloaded the firmware code from TI's website and tried to program it to the kit. However it did not work. I use CCS to upload the code to the MSP430 processor on the EVM board but it seems like the processor is stuck in the LPM and could never be waken up. 
Could someone please help me on how to correctly reprogram the DRV2605 EVM with its original firmware? 
Thank you so much!
  • Hi Run,

    Are you able to connect the EVM to Haptics Control Console? You can update the firmware in Help -> Firmware Update. Follow the instructions on screen and let us know how it goes.

    EDIT: You will need the DRV-USBCOM-EVM in order to connect the DRV2605EVM to Haptcs Control Console.

  • Hi, Yu:

    i think you don't build the firmware correctly.

    there are no other way except reprogramming the board with MSP430 programmer.

  • Hi Leo,

    Thanks for your reply. I currently do not have the DRV-USBCOM-EVM board. I did try the same thing simply through the MSP430G2553 launchpad (SBW) to the EVM and the console, it did not work.

    So is that possible for the EVM to communicate with the console without using the DRV-USBCOM-EVM?

    Thanks a lot!

  • Hi Peter,

    So how is the whole process of building the firmware? I built my own code and wrote that to the EVM (basically flashing the LEDs on board to verify that I am able to reprogram it), it works fine. However I use the same method to build the firmware code downloaded from the DRV2605EVM page and it does not work.

    Would you please walk me through the whole process? Or verify that the firmware code is correct?

    Thank you so much.

  • Hi, Run:

    the DRV2605EVM firmware is developed by old CCS version.

    i have made some modification to the project build and link command to suit the new CCS v6.1.3, can you please try the attachment below:

  • Hi Peter,

    I happened to have it solved before seeing your suggestion and I think you are right. I copied all the codes and rebuilt it with the CCS v6.13 I have and it worked. I also tried the modified firmware you uploaded and it also works!! Thank you so much!
