3.3.5 Flashing Configuration onto EVM

The Application Customization Tool is used to directly load a configuration onto the TPS25751EVM. Connect J4 Type-C connector with a cable (both USB-A to USB-C or USB-C to USB-C® cables work) to a laptop or computer with the Application Customization Tool open. Make sure the TPS25751EVM is properly powered either through J2 Type-C connector to a 15V-20V Type-C adapter or with a bench power supply. See the figure below for reference.

Note: When flashing a configuration onto TPS25751EVM, connect the TPS25751EVM with a power source such as a PD adapter or bench power supply. For evaluation battery charging applications with the BQ257xxEVM, connect the BQ EVM after the TPS25751EVM has a proper configuration loaded.

Open the Application Customization Tool and complete the questionnaire, refer to Section 3.3.3 for details on each question. Once the questionnaire is complete and the TPS25751EVM is connected properly, click on Options → Serial Port Configuration to make sure the correct COM port is selected. See the figure below for reference.

If the TPS25751EVM is unable to connect to the Application Customization Tool, then go through the following debug recommendations:

  1. Make sure the cable connecting the computer to the TPS25751EVM supports data.
  2. Make sure the power source (whether it's from a Type-C adapter or bench power supply) is supplying 15V-20V. TPS25751EVM cannot power on properly if the power source is less than 15V.
  3. Make sure only one tab of the Application Customization Tool is running at any given time. Multiple tools running simultaneously can cause communication issues.

Once the questionnaires are completed and the TPS25751EVM is connected to the Application Customization Tool, click on Flash To Device → Flash to device from current configuration.

Note: When the tool is flashing the configuration, DO NOT connect or disconnect any cables on the TPS25751EVM. Connecting or disconnecting any cables can cause errors when flashing.
