AFE7950EVM: Python #Error: No module named mhsdcparam

Youngho Suh

Part Number: AFE7950EVM

Hi,

I used Latte S/W together with TSW14J56RevD. Tried to run AFE79xx_TSW14J56_Mode1.py but it gave the error message below. the error message said "#Error: No module named mhsdcparam". Can you please take a look what went wrong with my code? On High Speed Data Converter Pro S/W side, it just hooked up with USB and green "connected" sign showed up with S/N: T825SBO2. Do I need to iimport firmware manually? Please advise how to resolve this error.

Thanks,

Yougho

Hi Yougho,

Can you confirm that you are using the latest AFE79xx GUI that is available? Please note that in the latest version the name of the application changed from 'Latte' to 'AFE79xx'. When using the latest SW we recommend following the guides given in the AFE79xx secure folder.

I have attached the missing file below. It can be placed in the following folder: C:\Users\<UserName>\Documents\Texas Instruments\Afe79xxLatte\lib
