TMP117EVM: USB2ANY SDK required to safely work with the module

Part Number: TMP117EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB2ANY, MSP-EXP430F5529LP, CC3200-LAUNCHXL

Hi,

I have 2 TMP117EVM modules which I need to control using my custom software.

I used the 2.7.0.0 USB2ANY SDK downloaded from https://e2e.ti.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/14/software-development-kit.zip

When the open API is used, a pop-up window prompts an evm fw change to 2.7.0.0 . (screenshot attached)

Once this is done, the EVM gets bricked.

I already have the USB2ANY explorer installed.

Can you point to the latest USB2ANY SDK which would be compatible with the module?

    Hi Ponnu,

    I've attached version 2.8.2 of the USB2ANY SDK. The TMP117EVM uses a modified version of USB2ANY, and therefore should not be updated by any version of the USB2ANY SDK in order to avoid issues.

    You will need to use the u2aSuppressFirmwareCheck(BOOL suppress) function before scanning for any controllers in order to prevent this automatic firmware update. This function isn't listed in the API Reference, but it is included in the dll.

    Thank you Brandon,

    I was able to open communication with the module after using the u2aSuppressFirmwareCheck(BOOL suppress) API. 

    However, I have another question about how to revive the bricked module.

    Is there a way I can download the firmware to the module using the CC3200-LaunchXL board? I do not have a MSP-EXP430F5529LP board
