TPS6594EVM: Failed to reprogram NVM of the TPS6594

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am trying to connect to the EVM, with no success. 

I am using:               https://dev.ti.com/gallery/view/PMIC/Scalable-PMICs-GUI/ver/3.0.0/

installed the PAMB:  PAMB_USB_Driver_Installer-v4.2.0.0

and then i looked at:


I looked the device manager and initially had can only see the MSP430 DFU (No COMs at all)

i did follow these instructions:      https://e2e.ti.com/support/data-converters-group/data-converters/f/data-converters-forum/914940/faq-how-do-i-resolve-pamb-evm-connectivity-and-or-driver-installation-issues

and tried this too:https://e2e.ti.com/support/data-converters-group/data-converters/f/data-converters-forum/1430770/boostxl-ads7142-q1-gui-initial-setup-pamb-not-detected 

(but in the GUI there's no  File > Program Device... in the GUI)


BTW, i do have another EVM to which i manage to connect.

Please advise.

    Hello Chagai,

    Looks like the microcontroller aboard the EVM may not be programmed with any firmware or may have been wiped at some point. Anyways, I appreciate you showing the drivers helps a lot, so good news the computer recognizes the microcontroller even though it might not be programmed correctly. Let's fix that, unfortunately you'll need to install more software and this process only works with EVMs designed to work with the Scalable PMIC GUI.

    Please install the BSL-SCRIPTER: https://software-dl.ti.com/msp430/msp430_public_sw/mcu/msp430/MSPBSL_Scripter/latest/index_FDS.html

    After installing it to the fold please place the following files in the base directory:

     3312.aevm_1_0_3_6.txtscriptFlashDFU.TXT

    1. Connect the EVM to the PC
    2. Open up the CMD prompt (Windows) or Command Line (UNIX/LINUX)
    3. Navigate to the BSL-SCRIPTING directory
    4. Run "BSL-Scripter.exe scriptFlashDFU.TXT"
    5. Wait until the flashing is done, see below for confirmation
    6. Disconnect EVM
    7. Reconnect EVM, check device manager
      1. You will see the following show up, also see below:
      2. Ports (COM & LPT) -> ACCtrl (COMx) & ACCtrl Console (COMx)
    8. Open Scalable PMIC GUI, attempt a connect with the proper EVM settings I2C address, voltage, etc...
