TIDA-050047: Battery Charger

Dong-geun KIM
Prodigy 160 points
Part Number: TIDA-050047
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB2ANY, BQ25792

Tool/software:

Hi, 

I purchased TIDA-050047 EVM Board and "UAB2Any" module from Ti Site.
After completing configuration, Hardware connect operation seems normal,
but during the configure operation, "Hardware connected" is normal,
but the reConnect message is output.

I connected the "USB2ANY" Box to the "Aardvard" Connector.
Is there a problem with the above connection method and usage?
Please check quickly.

Best regards,

dkkim.

    Sorry,
    In the above, "Aardvard" is not connected, but "USB2Any" Connector is connected to J3 Connector of TIDA-050047 EVM..

    Hi Dong-geun,

    Apologies for the confusion, but the USB2ANY is not compatible with the TIDA-050047 EVM. We are currently working on removing mentions of it from the board. The USB2ANY is not compatible with the TPS2575X guis. 

    The Aardvark connector is used to expose the TPS2575x I2C lines and can be used for two purposes.

    1. Sniff the I2C lines to see the traffic between the PD controller and it's peripherals (I2C EEPROM and BQ25792)

    2. Flash the I2C EEPROM using any compatible I2C EEPROM Flashing device. (We use a TotalPhase Aardvark, but there may be cheaper options)

    The GUI is used to generate a full flash binary image for the PD controller (TPS2575x). Once you have the binary image, you can use it to program the I2C EEPROM.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Chris

    Hi Chris,

    Does your answer mean that I have to buy "Aardvark" and connect it to J5 of TIDA-050047 EVM Board?

    After changing the configuration of TIDA-050047, what should I do if I want to write to Flash of TIDA-050047 EVM?

    Is there a detailed user's manual ?

    Best regards,

    dkkim.

    No, you do not have to buy an "Aardvark", it is the recommended option because it is what we use at TI.

    You need any tool that can take a binary file and flash it to the onboard I2C EEPROM. In this case, we recommend the Aardvark, but if you already have another tool, or can find a working alternative, those should work as well. The I2C lines are exposed on the J5 header, which should be enough for a flash programmer. Please realize you also need to power the board to provide the EEPROM power.

    The EVM user guide goes into detail about the EVM: https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/tiduey1b/tiduey1b.pdf?ts=1732631459147&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Ftool%252FUSB-PD-CHG-EVM-01

    There is no specific guide for flashing the EVM unfortunately.

    Section 3 of this document provides more information on the GUI.

    https://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slvucp9a/slvucp9a.pdf?ts=1732631688896&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Fproduct%252FTPS25751

    Once you have generated the Full flash binary from the GUI (with your new configuration), connect your I2C EEPROM programmer of choice, locate and load the Full flash binary to the programmer, and program the EEPROM. If the EEPROM programs successfully, you can power cycle the board to load the new image.

    Thanks and Regards,

    Chris
