TPIC8101EVM: TPIC8101EVM doesn't work fine

Part Number: TPIC8101EVM

The board does not generate any INT/HOLD signal even when i program the GUI according to the instructions.

It would be a firware problem like other users had with this device.

Argini,

I am working with the EVM now, and to be honest, I'm having problems connecting to the EVM with my computer.
More on this soon....

In the mean-time, what is meant by "The board does not generate any INT/HOLD signal..."?
The pin is an input, not an output.
Do you mean the pin is not being properly set by the micro-controller?

Regards,
John

Dear John

Yes the signal was not generated by TiGer board. I checked with scope on JP3.
