TPS65987EVM: start up questions

Part Number: TPS65987EVM

Hi 

I have them powered up and want to continue with loading the TPS6598x Application-Customization Tool User Guide on my PC. Assuming this is the first step?

 

I downloaded this software but I saw on the bulletin boards that there may be some USB driver issues. Any guidance?

 

This is the package I downloaded:

 

slvc621z.zip

 

I have these 2 docs for this SW. Is one more pertinent than the other Doc?

 

slvuar8a.pdf

slvub60a.pdf

 

Is this the correct SW and correct docs and are there any patches required?

    Hi,

    Were you able to install and run the Tool?

    In the Tool, there should be a menu item "Documents" and the first entry should be "application customization tool users guide".

    I expect you will be able to establish a USB debug and programming conneciton with the EVM using this tool. Be sure you downloaded "TPS6598X-CONFIG: TPS6598x Configuration Tool". THe current version as of now is v5.1 dated 18-FEB-2019 .

    Regards,

    Hi,  the tool has not been installed

     is the TPS6598X-CONFIG that actual tool to install or is this install compliments another SW package?

    Hi,

    Yes, please install the package from "TPS6598X-CONFIG: TPS6598x Configuration Tool". You will download a .zip file. Inside will be the installer. The Tool is self contained. It has everything it needs plus documents to describe operation.

    Regards,

    Scott

    just to check :- When reading this document: SLVUAR8A–May 2016–Revised July 2016, titled: TPS6598x Application-Customization Tool User Guide, although dated earlier than the config tool you provided, it states the following in section 1.1:

    NOTE: This tool is replacing the TPS6598x Configuration Tool; therefore, use of this tool is
    recommended to receive the latest firmware and features.

    So, my question is should I be using the config tool or not? Did TI go back to the config tool as the preferred method?

    I just do not want to go too far without knowing I have the correct tool.

    Hi Alan,

    There was an earlier version of the tool with a similar name. The current version is kept up to date at www.ti.com/.../tps6598x-config

    Be sure to download the TPS6598X-CONFIG TPS6598x Configuration Tool archive. The product folder also links software made available through the LGPL. The LGPL package is not needed to execute the TPS6598x Configuration Tool.

    Regards,
    Scott
