UCD90320: Linux Automation through USB-to-GPIO2

Erika Long
Intellectual 870 points

Part Number: UCD90320
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB-TO-GPIO2,

Hi Team,

Is there any capability to perform Voltage Monitoring using Fusion Power Design API's/CLI/Python from Linux through the USB-to-GPIO2 dongle using the expected test setup shown in the diagram below? 

My customer would like to automate updating the HEX and XML files to perform Voltage Monitoring to debug any Power ON issues in this way.

    Hi

    Fusion power designer does not support Linux so that you can't use it from Linux

    Hi Yihe,

    Thanks for your reply. Is there any format Fusion Power Designer supports that customers use to automate HEX and XML files updates?

    Hi Yihe,

    Checking in here. What format, if any, do customers use to automate file updates through Fusion Power Designer?

    Hi

    It would be .hex file which follows Intel format.

    You can export the .hex file from Fusion GUI or you can export data flash script file .csv.

    The .csv already parses the hex file and pack the data into a recognized I2C format for external I2C host to execute.

    Hi Yihe,

    My customer would like to automate updating the HEX and XML files to perform Voltage Monitoring to debug any Power ON issues. How would the .HEX file be used to update these files if it must be extracted to create the I2C format for execution?

    Best,

    Hi

    I am little confused by your request.

    UCD90xxx has no configuration and customer has to program it which can be before or after soldering. 

    once UCD90 is programmed, it starts to monitor and sequence the system.

    The programming is one time effort unless customers need update the setting.

    under OPENBMC framework, there is a Linux Driver to support UCD90320 but Ti does not contribute the driver.

    You may leverage that driver to achieve the goal.

    Regards
