Hello,

I just received the LM8335EVM. Where can I find a link for downloading the PC software (GUI)?

There seems to be no link in User Guide nor on info page of LM8335EVM.

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

I found firmware through the zip file in this e2e thread.

(+) LM8335: EVM Firmware for MSP430F5510 - Interface forum - Interface - TI E2E support forums

Please let me know if this helps.

Regards,

Tyler

Hello Tyler,

many thanks for your answer!

I am not searching the firmware for the MSP430 (this is also good, but not at the first steps).

I am searching the PC software mentioned as GUI in the User Manual.

At the moment I have the brand-new-delivered PCB, connect it to PC, I see it via device manager,

but have no way to control the MSP430 and further RFFE device from PC side.

This is like buying a car, getting it delivered, but no keys are available at all to unlock the car or start the motor...

I can't understand why it is not linked at a famous place (directly in User Manual) or can be downloaded like the User Manual itself. Or like a diskette/CD together with PCB in earlier days.

How have other customers of the LM8335EVM solved this?

Best regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

I am not sure of the longevity of this part and may be a reason why support for this part has been reduced.

Here is the zip file containing the LM8335EVM GUI. I believe this is the original file.

LM8335EVM_GUI.zip

Hello Tyler,

many thanks for the zipfile. It worked! I was able to install and start the GUI.

Meanwhile I was able to control the GPIOs via RFFE as well as reading version ids out of LM8335.

Best regards,

Martin
