TPS65987-90EVM: Host Interface Utility Tool

Guru 29710 points

Part Number: TPS65987-90EVM

Hi Team,

I believe following "TPS6598X Host Interface Utility Tool" is usable with TPS65987-90EVM.
Is my understanding correct?
http://www.ti.com/tool/TPS65982-HIUTILITY?keyMatch=utility tool&tisearch=Search-EN-Everything

The page above doesn't shows TPS65987D so would like to confirm just in case.

Best Regards,
Yaita

  • Hi Yaita-san,

    I would advise against using this tool for the TPS65987D because it was designed for TPS65982/6 and has not been updated for '87D.

    I suggest instead using the "TPS6598x Configuration Tool" located at www.ti.com/.../tps6598x-config. This tool will contain the most recent firmware update and be updated to support the current set of features/commands.

    Regards,

  • Hi Scott-san,

    Thank you for your reply however I believe "TPS6598x Configuration Tool" and "TPS6598X Host Interface Utility Tool" are different tool, each has different purpose.
    I believe "TPS6598X Host Interface Utility Tool" can be used to program SPI Flash on EVM and also can read/write register of TPS6598x by GUI.
    It seems "TPS6598x Configuration Tool" can't be used for the purpose above.

    Could you please confirm again?

    Best Regards,
    Yaita

  • Hi Yaita-san,

    I agree that there used to be two tools with different uses as you describe.

    The current version of the TPS6598x Configuration Tool that I linked above is able to perform all of these functions: it can create a device configuration, program SPI flash, debug and read/write registers in a GUI interface. I recommend the current tool for your EVM.

    There is documentation for this tool here: TPS6598x Application Customization Tool (Rev. A)

    Does this help confirm?

    Best regards,

    Scott
