USB-TO-GPIO2: Device validation ActiveX control error using Fusion Digital Power Manufacturing Tool with USB-TO-GPIO2

Alexandre Lecomte

Part Number: USB-TO-GPIO2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCD90320U

Hello,

I am trying to program a UCD90320U chip with the Fusion Manufacturing Tool via the USB-TO-GPIO2 adapter.

Since the current released version does not support USB-TO-GPIO2 adapter, I have installed the 7.5.1 beta version you provided in another post of this forum.

This beta version is still not working with the USB-TO-GPIO2 adapter. When starting the script, the script fails at the beginning to validate the IC with an ActiveX error:

"Validation failed: ActiveX control '8856f961-340a-11d0-a96b-00c04fd705a2' cannot be instantiated because the current thread is not in a single-threaded apartment."

See picture below.

Is there a way to get the USB-TO-GPIO2 working with the Fusion Manufacturing Tool?

USB-TO-GPIO2 works fine with all the other Fusion Designer tools, except the Manufacturing Tool, which will block our production lines.

Note that Fusion Manufacturing 7.5.1 Beta still works with USB-TO-GPIOv1.

Thank you.

We will take a look. Can you please sure your log file and the programming script to help the team debug the issue faster?

Hi,

The test script is as simple as possible and only scan for a device at chip address (here UCD90320U @ 17d) and perform a [PMBUS] Confirm_Device action.

The firmware of the USB-TO-GPIO2 is v2.1.0.0.

The script is failing during the device discovery action so almost at the beginning of the script.

The device is correctly detected but then the ActiveX error occurs.

The software team has looked into it and identified the bug, they will fix the issue and update the MFR GUI soon.

I do not have a date yet.

I am sorry you feel that this answer has not address your issue, but there is nothing more I can add at this point. The bug in the manufacturing tool that you are experiencing has been identified and the software team is working on fixing it. I am working on getting an expected availability date for the updated manufacturing tool, but I do not have it yet.

The software team has gotten back to me, they expect the updated version of the manufacturing tool with this bug fixed should be released by the end of October.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am looking forward to update our lines with the manufacturing tool and the USB-TO-GPIO2 adapter.

Regards,

Alexandre

Hi, Alexandre,

Please try MFR GUI in the below link. It should fix your issues.
