OPT3101EVM: No data stream when running Latte

Hi,

When you open latte it will open a black command prompt window that will stay in the background. Have you checked that for errors? If any errors printing there can you supply these?

Best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

No there are no errors reported. See window contents below.

I have also installed the EVM on another Windows 7 computer and I get the same result.

Hi Alex,

Are you able to help me out with this problem?

If I can't get it to work I may have to try and find another technology for my project which would be a shame as I think this may fit well but I need to get the EVM going in order to evaluate the device for my application.

I really don't have any other ideas to try to get this working.

Regards

DAve

Hi Dave,

Sure thing. I understand you are under a time crunch so will try to get this resolved ASAP. 

Can you send hardware IDs for both com ports EVM shows up as?

Can you also check control and data ports in command line of latte and send (see below)

Can you also swap the USB cable and try with a fresh one to check that as well?

Best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply.

I have attached info as requested. I have also tried a new USB cable but this did not solve the problem.

By the way how do you attach screen shots. When I try and paste a screen shot of my PC from Word it does not attach to the post.

Regards

Dave

Thanks for this. I will review and get back. For pictures use the left button in the blue circle. To add files use the right in the circle. You'll have to save the pictures to a file and then upload. Unfortunately paste does not work :( 

Hi Alex,

A further update. I have just tried installing the EVM system onto a Windows 10 PC and unfortunately I am getting exactly the same result.

It appears to me that unless the Latte program does not work at all there maybe a problem with the EVM hardware?

What can I do to check this out?

Thanks.

Dave

Hi Dave,

Can you send the full output in the log window where you saw the read from flash error? 

Can you also use the following in the command line and let me know the result? This will test the I2C - but this seems to be working okay

dev._i2c_en.getValue()

dev._num_avg_sub_frames.getValue()

Can you also share a picture of the EVM or confirm it matches the one here https://www.ti.com/tool/OPT3101EVM

To check what state the device is in you can look on the LED switching node with a scope probe to look for the 10MHz switching 

You can also probe the data_ready line that is brought out to one of the headers (see schematic in users guide). The MSP430 is looking for this pulse to send data to the PC.

If we still can't get to the bottom of this I will look into how we can ship you another one. I agree this may be some hardware issue. Checking the I2C in the commands and probing the signals I mentioned above should help us see if that is the case.

Best,

Alex

Hi Alex,

I have had a probe around with an oscilloscope and there isn't any data_ready signal (the line is low) and there is no signal on the LED (permanently high).

There is also no slave I2C signals. I have done the measurement with and without running the Capture button in Latte and there is no difference.

I have attached the log data file with the commands you requested and the flash error is on line 61 of the log file. I have also attached a photo of the EVM.

Regards

Dave

Hi Alex,

I was unable to send the last reply with the log file so listed below is the file contents. The Flash error is highlighted in red.

The last 4 lines in the log are the results of the following commands:

dev._i2c_en.getValue()

dev._num_avg_sub_frames.getValue()

Hi Dave,

Thanks for sending. I also wanted to confirm you have not modified anything in the latte software so it is as it come when downloaded? If this is the case I will look to ship you a new EVM to test. Are you able to provide your address for us to ship to? If rather not put on forum you can click on my profile and click the contact button to provide that way.

Best,

Alex

In addition to your address can you also provide some background on your application/use-case and projected volume estimate.

Best,

Alex
