DS160PR410: Where can I find the ds160pr410, pcie gen4 redriver, updater.exe for installing profile in Sigcon Architect tool?

Part Number: DS160PR410

Installed the Sigcon, but not able to find the "ds160pr410_updater.exe" for installing the profile in Sigcon Architect tool to program EEPROM in a customer board. Where can I find and download it?

Or how to setup the profile in Sigcon architect tool for programming a customer designed ds160pr410 redriver board? My redriver board design has two gen4 x4 links using 4 of ds160pr410 chips.

Your document says that the ds160pr410evm-rsc has 8 ds160pr410 chips. Where can I find and download the profile for this EVB? and how to refer it to setup the profile for my ds160pr410 design board?

Thanks,

Xiao

  • Hi Nasser,

    I found out that I used Sigcon Architect version 2.0.0.8, which does not have the ds160pr410 profile installed. Following your document I installed rev 3.0.0.10, now the ds160pr410evm-rsc profile is shown up. But I am not able to modify it to match my redriver board design. For example, in my design, there are only 4 devices, 2 on down stream and 2 on up stream. In the "configuration" menu, I am not able to modify the number of devices and to change the I2C address settings. Also I do not see the feature to program the EEPROM.

    These issues had been reported in a forum post for how to use Sigcon architect to program a customer designed board (not EVB). It says that TI has a unreleased version of Sigcon GUI, which is able to support EEPROM programming. How can I get it to try?

    Thanks,

    Xiao
