DS90UB953-Q1EVM: code to update DS90UB953-Q1EVM registers without LaunchPAD

Osama Aziz

Part Number: DS90UB953-Q1EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB2ANY, ALP

Hi,

Is it possible to connect four [DS90UB953-Q1EVM] boards to the same PC? And if that possible, how to assign different board ID for each board?

I’m using simple python script to generate image patterns using [DS90UB953-Q1EVM]. To do this I use [Analog LaunchPAD] to load and run the script.
I need to write a program to perform automatic test: and update the [DS90UB953-Q1EVM] registers [equivalent to the function of the python program], so that the process will be automatic and I don’t need to manually open [Analog LaunchPAD] and run the python code. Any idea to implement this?

Thank you,

Hello,

It is possible to connect 4 DS90UB953-Q1EVMs to same PC. Each DS90UB953-Q1EVM board has an USB2ANY circuit that allows them to be enumerated as a USB HID Input device. You should be able to see each board enumerated separately in your device manager Human Interface Devices. You can see ALP recognizing multiple boards in screen shot below

Since you want to use without ALP, one option I suggest you consider is using Total Phase Aardvark:

www.totalphase.com/.../

They have Aardvark Software API that you can call from your python script and run without ALP.

Thanks,

Vishy

Hello,
I found one more option (no Aardvark) that might be interesting for you. Assuming you have the USB2ANY SDK or USB2ANY Explorer installed on your computer, you should have a folder at this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\TI USB2ANY SDK

There you can find a folder with some sample code (looks like header and sources files for C/C++) of using I2C, a API reference guide, some release notes referring to the DLL, and plenty of other seemingly helpful PDFs.

Please check this link for USB2ANY explore software.

Hello,

Thank you for your detailed answer, I think using the USB2ANY SDK is the perfect solution for my project. I installed the USB2ANY software. But I couldn’t find the TI USB2ANY SDK folder. I only found [USB2ANY.dll] in [c:\Windows\SysWOW64\USB2ANY.dll].

When I run [USB2ANY_SupportInfo.exe], I got the following information in [USB2ANY Explorer API Debug.log] file:

2018-08-24 09:32:01.057 DebugLogging is Enabled

But ['C:\Program Files (x86)\TI USB2ANY SDK] folder is not available !

Is there a link where I can download the C++ examples directly?

Thank you for your help,

Hello,

I quoted the USB2ANY SDK information from the following link

https://e2e.ti.com/support/amplifiers/etc_amplifiers__other_linear/f/18/t/700646

You can try if the link given there helps. Otherwise, Aardvark might be your option.

Thanks,

Hello,

I installed and checked. Sorry I don't see it either. Probably it's removed and not supported anymore. You can ask about it in the other forum. I can also check and let you know if I find something.

Thanks,
