Hi Ryan,
we'd also be interested in receiving an drv8432evm. Is it available now?
Looking forward to your reply...
kind regards,
Roland

Roland,
We are currently fabricating the boards for an official release. We are about 4 weeks out on complete assemblies and release. If you need something before than, I have posted the gerbers online if you want to fabricate your own version.
Can you please post an URL to the gerbers?
I am just in the process of mounting the DRV8432's to my prototype boards. And we have total confusion around where pin1 is on the component and if my prototype PCB can actually work. Me and my collegues find that the chip pin numbering is unlike anything we have seen. The eval board layout does not help (page 7): http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slou291/slou291.pdf because it indicates pin 1 is on the upper left (as they always have been). The actual chips come with pin1 on upper right side.
The gerbers from a working project may help if we can figure out where pin1 is. If we lay the chip "on it's back" it looks correct. But then the drawing should have stippled the cooling pad and mounting a heatsink would not be possible.
