UCD9222: UCD9222 Program: PROGRAM Flash empty!!!

Part Number: UCD9222
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: UCD7242

Hi everyone,

I have a custom design C6678 board with UCD9222 and UCD7242. The board is 100% (without any doubt) correct. I am using it fore more than two years and UCD can provide current of board easily (I sink 10A from UCD7242).

I bought some new UCD9222. I replace old UCD9222 with new one just for testing UCD. The board is same. Just UCD is changed. The picture of fusion software is shown below:

 

When I want to program UCD9222 with “TI’s USB Interface Adapter (2006)”, I encounter with this error : “No Devices Found”.

Device Scanning option is DEVICE_ID as before. Although I test all of options.

I used Device GUI to find more information. When I “Scan Device in ROM Mode” UCD30xx is found.

When I execute “Command ROM to execute its program“, No device found!!! It means no code in program flash. If I solder the old one, It would work correctly. The software version is ok. USB cable is OK. My PC works fun. Everything is ok. Just UCD9222 is the bad guy. I am far away from deadline. And so angry. I am loosing my job, money and every things.

Q:

-Why UCD9222 is not programmed??? Is it possible??? I have 30 devices and all of them have same error. Why TI??? It is not the first time. Others have same problem (search forum).

-Where can I find firmware for UCD9222? So I can program the “program flash” of the UCD9222.

-If I wand to read program flash from a correct UCD9222, It demand for password. What is password of program? so I can change program of an old one with new.

Somebody take responsibility of this problem, please.

Thank you in advance.

  • GUI password is forestln.

    After entering the password, you can export Program Flash + Data Flash. Please export from a good device, in .x0 format, and download it to the bad device using Download Firmware tool under Tools menu.

    Before you recover bad devices, please export its Program Flash + Data Flash in x0 format, and post it here. Also, please let us know the top marking of the device. It is something like:

    TI 12A

    ABCD G4

    Thanks,

    I think the problem is with 42K ( date of production). The old one is 28K.
    I'll send you the exported Program Flash + Data Flash of 42K in x0 format, later.
