[FAQ] How do I ask a question on E2E?

Here, you will learn how to complete the thread creation form to post a question on E2E after clicking "Ask a new question".

Note: We recommend always searching E2E prior to posting a new question.  E2E already has hundreds of thousands of threads with existing answers.  This is often the fastest way to solve your problem.

 Part Number

• Include a device or reference design in the part number field.
• When you start typing a part number, a drop down list will appear. You can continue typing and then select the appropriate choice.
• If you don't have a part number, check the "I don't have a part number" box.
• Part numbers can include:
  • ICs
  • EVMs
  • Software development tools
  • TI Designs (ex. TIDAx, PMPx)
• If you are looking for a similar or “better than” device recommendation, enter the part number for the reference device.
• If your question applies to an entire family of devices, choose a device from that family.
• Create a separate thread for each problem you are having.

Is your issue with one of these development tools/software?

• Open the drop down under "Is your issue with one of these development tools/software?"
• Only select a Development Tool/Software if your issue is with that Tool or Software.
• Do NOT select a Development Tool/Software to just indicate what you are using.
• If none of the options in the drop down relate to a Tool/Software, select "My issue is not related to any of the below."

Select a forum

• The forum selection will pre-populate based on the part number you entered.
• If you don’t think the proper forum is being offered, post your issue anyways. We will ensure the proper team within TI sees it.

E2E thread title

• In the E2E thread title, include a short title with a phrase or several key words related to your issue.
• Good example: “Output oscillates at 9kHz”
• Bad example: “Part problem”
• If you entered a Part Number or Development Tool/Software above, do not repeat it in the Thread Title field.  It will be automatically added as a prefix to your Thread Title.
• Include a detailed description of your issue in the description box. See the FAQ "How do I use the rich text editor on threads and replies on E2E?" for rich text editor usage. https://e2e.ti.com/support/site_support/f/1024/t/694627
